7. The "Large Solar Project" will run day and night?

Even in a desert, the capacity utilization of a solar plant is lucky to achieve 20%.

Thus the statement that a coal plant is being destroyed by "switching to solar" is a obviously fraudulent statement.

Of course, there are no numbers in this news item; people who buy into this crap don't give a rat's ass about numbers, because the use of numbers makes fraud obvious.

Coal plants are shut by gas plants, and the more we lie about what solar is - including the absurd statement that it is "green" - the more responsibility we will have for the fact that the concentration of the dangerous fossil fuel waste in the planetary atmosphere peaked this year at close to 412 ppm.

The lies put forth by the media about so called "renewable energy" are Trumpian in scale; perhaps lies with different intent, but lies all the same.
