Interesting little nugget that I came across per US Department of Energy, showing that a single coal worker produces as much energy as 79 solar workers. This is a huge disparity in the amount of energy that the two fields produce. One coal worker produces 7.7k of megwatt hours, as opposed to solar, where it takes 79 able bodies to turn out that sort of output. Statistics like this cannot be ignored, we cannot be ignorant of the resources that the earth provides for us. I understand that there are climate difficulties that have to be dealt with, but as many realize, the issues aren't being seriously addressed. The only argument I have heard against this is, 98% of scientists agree that the climate is being changed by humans, but there is never any substantiated evidence behind that one liner. Comment below! Lets debate, present facts, and enjoy the conversation. Thanks guys!
