Climate change is not just global warming. It adds storms that keep destroying infrastructure and killing people. It also adds acid rain.
Solar panels are great but are easily impacted by hail and dust.

- M95D 2y agoHail affects a much larger area than a missile. Cluster bombs would be effective, but they were banned. And why would anyone waste a missile on a solar farm when they could target a transformer station or a transport line that distributes power from lots and lots of power sources?
- bryanlarsen 2y agoSolar farms are generally hardened to withstand once-in-a-decade level of hailstorms, and are only susceptible to once-in-a-century level hail. Once-in-a-century level hail will take out infrastructure too, so your argument about missiles again applies -- better the distributed nature of solar than the concentrated nature of infrastructure.
