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?
Wait until this moron finds out how many GiGaWaTts we will lose after sunset
What a Gigatwat
ok this one is funny
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.
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.
This would be a great talking point in a world where we didn't invent ways to store power, and that night wasn't a thing.
Unfortunately he lives in this one where gets to look like an idiot.

That's okay, I only need 1.21 gigawatts to fix the country.
But think how much productivity was lost due to all the workers stopping to watch the eclipse! That easily set us back ten years.
Everyone in my office died because we all stopped working for a bit. Even me.
But, then who was phone?
The real phone was inside us all along... Until HR found out.
It was so sad. And I hardly knew ye.
If only human invent a way to store electricity. 🤔
Or even just transport it over large distances. Oh well, guess we'll just be stuck using candles forever.
Not even large distances. From some quick googling, the umbra is only 100 to 160 km wide. For everywhere else, it would be the equivalent of a cloudy day. And this only lasts for minutes.
Make the Sun Great Again! The moon is a lefty loser!
Don't tell him about nightfall!
A guy who just spews nonsense for a paycheck.
