Another way to look at this: The solar infrastructure that is affected by the eclipse alone can generate roughly 30 GW

On the vast majority of days, as compared to these particular 3 minutes of Solar Eclipse.
Wait until this moron finds out how many GiGaWaTts we will lose after sunset
What a Gigatwat
Oh danny boy, the pipes the pipes are ca-alling for you shut your ignorant pie hole up
Don't worry. In 500 million years we won't get total solar eclipses anymore, so it's all good.
So we're good to build solar panels then right...
...right?
David Hume moment
That's okay, I only need 1.21 gigawatts to fix the country.
I remember at the Ellen’s Energy adventure ride at Epcot they had Bill Nye discuss types of energy. When they get to solar Bill Nye goes, “The sun doesn’t shine all day and weather can make it go down” then cutting to footage of a lone oil rig behind a sunset followed by triumphant music.
Please let this be sarcasm.
Unfortunately it's not. That's the founder of "Power The Future" which is a mouthpiece for fossil fuel industry/right wing propaganda. The dude is a professional piece of shit.
Make the Sun Great Again! The moon is a lefty loser!
