No Brian, this is horrendous, nuclear (next gen fission + fusion) is the best form of energy required for us today at large scale, nothing come even close to that (as efficiency and waste management/space), not surely within the next century or so.🌹
a new music video just for you
They’re going to become obsolete eventually—and that’s fine, as long as we have a realistic exit strategy that doesn’t leave millions of panels abandoned.
I hear ya. No one will clean this up. There is no incentive.
Looks like a dystopian nightmare
There's a ton of useless desert areas we can just throw panels in not sure why people hate this. Once we figure out power transfer and direct energy collection from the sun we won't need this. Also, this is only one strategy we can do nuclear fusion, nuclear fission, geothermal, hydroelectric, as well as other energy production methods.
Horrific and unnatural. No different then deforestation to build parking lots.
@BrianRoemmele Silicon Valley's geography shaped its innovation - the Santa Cruz mountains created isolation that fostered counterculture thinking. Research shows geographic constraints historically drive creative problem-solving, from ancient Athens to modern tech hubs.
This looks like hell on Earth. One hailstorm would wipe all of that out.
hell no
Yes. Seems they had little options and had to use crazy land for this. America has a lot of flat spots.
![Sequoia’s Shaun Maguire says Silicon Valley is undergoing a "Copernican" shift and waking up to the fact that it revolves around a set of much larger industries, not the other way around: "In Silicon Valley, [there's] almost this Copernican principle — where people used to believe that the world revolved around the Earth, then realized that it revolves around the sun." "There's a Silicon Valley parallel where people think that all of technology, all of industry, revolves around Silicon Valley, but it's actually kind of the opposite." "Silicon Valley is Earth, and there are these much bigger forces and bodies, which include energy, the chemical industry, these giant supply chains, and the semiconductor industry, which has been around for a very long time. It was pretty advanced, and people in Silicon Valley forgot about it." "I don't like the language of other industries pivoting into AI. I actually think it's the opposite." "I think it's like Silicon Valley is waking up from its toddlerhood and realizing that there were these giant industries that we underestimated, and they're actually really freaking good at what they do. And we can all benefit by working together."](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2036569397016535269/amplify_video_thumb/2036569253172920320/img/PFRTo78oVPwWNkXJ.jpg)
