1. Why would using solar be the death of us? There are many projects

up and working already. No side effect that I have heard of.

2. I WANT TO SEE PUBLIC WORKS, NOT RUN BY THE ReThuglican Robber Barons

4. Why Would Anyone Be Opposed to Solar Anyways?

In other words: how would it be a bad thing?

6. Too many solar panels make the Earth too shiny and can attract the attention of evil aliens. n/t

7. Or It May Reflect Back at the Sun Burning it

5. Using Solar Energy destabilizes the sun due to the heisenberg uncertainty principle. n/t

8. LOL funniest thing I've heard all day

I wonder if all those shiny things would help cool the earth by reflecting sunlight like snow?

9. They May Burn a Hole through the Ozone

11. My brother has a bumper sticker

"Stop Solar Energy Now!"

I love the irony in that

12. The industrial revolution was supposed to free humans from physical reality

by having access to more external energy. Today, because of the external energy that made that revolution possible, we cry about how that energy is impacting the environment, and how civilization is now facing its greatest threat...from the energy that made modern civilization possible.

So, this time, if we use a different form of energy, in order to free us even further from physical reality, it'll work, with no consequences, right? I mean, it's green. It has what plants crave.

13. OK ... I've got to ask ...

What do you mean by "solarizing"?

The only references I found are
1) Photographic jargon;
2) Degradation of materials exposed to strong UV or X rays;
3) Heat treatment/sterilisation using the sun (on a sealed clear bag).

I would guess that you are going for option #3 but is there another
meaning that I should know?
