@alanrycroft well, at least is technically fully ...

Would you rather want more fossile and mineral energy plants? Hydroelectric Powerplants??

As hot as it is in Canada right now, I'm pretty shure Solar[thermal] power isn't working most of the year around...

@kkarhan

I have #solar on my balcony porch

It works all year round

I have a friend who lives off grid on solar in the Yukon

The problem is burning things for energy

@kkarhan @alanrycroft we cut our own firewood for wintertime heat; we only cut standing dead trees that would otherwise burn in the next forest fire. We also run grid-tied, net-metered solar. Haven’t paid for electricity since we installed it.

@OGjester @alanrycroft I wished I had the land necessary to follow that example...

@kkarhan @alanrycroft where I live, there is national forest land and other government-managed forested land; all one needs to do is go to the local government office and ask for a permit to collect firewood. The permit has been free since COVID.
