They didn’t.

Are you suggesting that they’re not?

Yeah, so what? Eventually, it’ll be heat.

You gotta be shittin me.

No. If a watt worth of sunlight hits the earth, it’s transformed into a watt of heat. If it hits a solar panel, it’s transformed into some heat and some electricity, which is then used to power something that then transformed it into heat. The only solar energy that doesn’t heat up the planet is the one that is reflected back into space, which, however, isn’t much for solar panels.

However, if you use a watt of sunlight to power your phone instead of a watt of energy you got from burning coal, this watt of energy instead stays below earth and therefore doesn’t heat up the planet. It also doesn’t release co2, which would otherwise reduce the atmosphere’s reflectivity, trapping even more sun heat on the planet.

So solar panels don’t reduce the temperature by not allowing sunlight to heat up the planet, they decrease the temperature by replacing other stuff that would otherwise heat up the planet.

This already looks terrific. I’m deeply in love with Hilda and Pantheon is already on my list, so this seems to be like a great list for me to explore. Thank you so much.

Care to give some recommendations? :)

Might also have something to do with tenants having so many rights that they just don’t have many of the disadvantages they’d have in other countries.
