    You literally just reshared the same video the guy I’m responding to shared in the post I am responding to. Obviously you didn’t read anything.

      Ironic

      1. The video:
      • The video literally goes over the numbers in worst case scenario for solar and still comes out ahead, while also going through a bunch of mistakes that people make and deconstructing the gotchas along the way.
      1. Your comment:
      • Saying you weren’t going to watch the full video
      • Skimmed some of it and took some numbers and made mistakes
      1. Someone else:
      • Links to the video you skipped that would have gone through your mistakes before you commented.
      1. Your response:
      • This is the same video

      YES! It already goes over the mistakes you were making.


      On a side note, this was probably the best video I’ve seen in the last 12 months.

      I thought it would be a nice and nerdy breakdown of solar panels, but the more I watched the better it got.

      For those who did watch it: wow what a whiplash!

        Yeah, the video is 1.5 hours long. I don’t care how good you found it to be, I’m just not going to watch that long of a video, you need to convey what is important in the video through written dialogue or else you may as well not use it. While I did make a mistake in my math my fundamental point is still true, the video’s point was entirely based on scaling renewable power usage for cars to all power usage and the math just doesn’t provide a sound basis for it.
