If only we had known this about solar panels BEFORE so many of us planted them on our homes or got excited about solar farms.

The following was found on FaceBook and was forwarded to me., Laurel Bay, Nextdoor Neighbor

"From a STEPHENVILLE (TX) resident, George Franklin: 

“I should start by telling you what bonafides I have for writing this. 

I am a retired aerospace engineer...

Solar panels are at best about 20% efficient..

At the same time as they are absorbing light they are absorbing heat from the sun. 

This absorbed heat is radiated into the adjacent atmosphere...

Even small differences in ordinary land surfaces are capable of creating powerful forces of weather like thunderstorms and tornadoes. 

These weather phenomena are initiated and reinforced by land features as they are blown downwind. 

It is all too obvious to me what will happen with the heat generated by an entire solar farm. 

Solar farms will become thunderstorm and tornado incubators and magnets... 

So solar farms not only produce more heat in summer than the original land that they were installed on, but they also produce more cooling in winter, thus exacerbating weather extremes. 

So, I conclude with this. 

• There is nothing green about green energy except the dirty money flowing into corrupt pockets. 
• There is no such thing as green energy. 
• The science doesn't exist. 
• The technology doesn't exist. 
• The engineering doesn't exist. 

We are being pushed to save the planet with solutions that are worse than the problems.”
