Solar power has been on the rise for years, and for good reason. It has become one of the cheapest ways to generate energy almost everywhere, and it is one of the best options for combatting climate change.
Yet it still has its detractors. US energy secretary Chris Wright has claimed solar couldn’t supply all the energy the world needs. This is wildly and embarrassingly wrong, as many have pointed out. In fact, in the long run, solar – including wind, which captures the sun’s energy through a different mechanism – is the only power source that can meet growing energy demand without frying the planet.
I agree with both points in this sentence. I appreciate your feedback. The author cold have elaborated on that point more but it’s such a minor part of the article and I’m surprised to see people focusing only on that one line and some being outraged by it. That one line seems a bit negligible to the larger points presented in my opinion.
Oh agreed 100%, people tend to speak up more about a perceived error than the rest of the article they would otherwise agree with. It’s like that meme about how it’s easier to get a correct answer on the Internet by first posting an incorrect one, heh.
It’s a bit disappointing to have this constructive conversation with you and then see what contradictory things you had to say in another community indirectly but you’re certainly welcome to your opinions as is everyone else.
