    If we had listened to the warning signs for the past decades, we wouldn’t have these heat waves in the first place

      But won’t somebody think of the economy?? And by economy I mean shareholders not producing anything of value but just sit on their rich asses, wanting to get even richer by doing even more nothing.

        There are some people thinking of the economy. It’s just a small group. They are called politicians.

        There is even more economy needed to produce solar cells. But once they are bought, they create energy every day and people stop being dependent on daily shipments, like they are with oil.

        The big question is: why has the elite postponed the big usage of solar cells by 50 years? Are they ready to lose that lever now or are they going to pull it before it is gone.
