For the right price, I’d buy them. But they’re not the World’s panacea - just a medium term fix, not to be over used.
It’s all in the pics

Both would kill us, so it doesn’t matter which passes the finish line first. This is what the article warns about - massive engineering projects that affect the climate, whether for the purpose of geo-engineering or not.
Nothing wrong with solar IF we can pump the heat out of the atmosphere, or dodge it in some other way. Which we can’t, yet, and a solution to this is not waiting around the corner.
Indeed it doesn’t increase the total energy. It converts much of it into energy that our excess CO2 traps - IR. So we must either leave it as visible light, or push technology to convert it into microwave, both of which can escape.
Solar panels appear dark - more so than a 23% reduction can account for. The whole of the other 77% will not immediately turn into heat, but the bulk of it will. Some photons bounce, with a dependence on colour - but what happens to them then? A tiny amount will escape the Earth, with the rest absorbed by objects, atmosphere and eyes - mostly becoming heat. And what happens to visible light when it loses “a little energy”? It becomes infrared - y’know: heat.
Depends: Did you whitewash your roof?
Look! My solar panels are 23% efficient! 😀
And what happens to the other 77%? It turns into heat! 🥵
New clothes have a machining oil residue from the manufacturing process. This gets cleaned off when you wash them. But when you first wear them you’re well oiled!
Because it doesn’t support the latest formats.
Edit: Bait Airpods then.
tl;dr Waititi: Don’t believe what our own security says, China is our pal.
The Saudis and Iran? They’re going to get along like a sack full of cats.
Choose the other school, like the smart guy did.
Canada, it’s called parasitising a symbiotic relationship. Evolution tries this from time to time. Now we see if your law is fit to survive.
Community [email protected] speaks of a 20Mb limit, nice graphs and will host any format.
There could be more to it than that - like take up ballet.
