are there any decent longterm options for making the turbines that wouldnt get dissolved by the salt air tho

the sea will melt anything, theres a reason the idea of sea as primordial uncreate chaos exists so widely across diverse cultural traditions

drat that owns, nice work

what are some rad parts of the carolinas, ive only ever driven thru them or gone to like weddings and such, are they worth checkin out recreationally???? be honest plz

I'll let you know when I locate any. No, honestly, we have nice beaches and in the western part we have nice mountain country. If it weren't for the fire ants this state would be pretty great. But rad? I've never before seen the word "rad" and North Carolina before in the same paragraph.

wtf does solar do to heat my house? how do you use solar to heat things? gonna have to burn SOMETHING

you realise that anything your burning is at its most fundamental a battery for solar energy right??????? the major problem is safely storing releasing and transporting power, solve those and solar gets real fuckin perfect

better than nuclear because its using heat already in the environment instead of adding more to it which is an honest to gosh long range problem even if we manage carbon

Here's an unlikely solar farm story from NC:

This guy

http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/13/us/north-carolina-500-pound-boar/

killed a big 500 pound boar and got famous from it.
Animal Planet got in touch with him and they made a "Hunt for Hogzilla Show".

He got lots of money for the show and setup solar farm on his land. I forget if he already owned the land or bought it too.
Now he sells power to the power company $$$$. Take that libtards!

then when the only birds left are the ones that fly around the turbines and the forager communities around the bases of the turbines start to die, Trump 2.0 wins the presidency on a platform of shooting birds into the turbines out of cannons

The evidence is now clear that the White House and Devin Nunes, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, have worked together to halt what was previously billed as a sweeping investigation of Russian interference in last year’s election. “We’ve been frozen,” Jim Himes, a Democratic representative from Connecticut who is a member of the Committee, said.
