Solar and wind industry thrives off retards. Many bosses completely pretend to be on board and suck their employees in on the scam. All the engineers come in thinking it's just like oil and gas, where they usually started out at, and end up getting red pilled harder because of how shitty green energy is, how toxic the panels are, how unrecycleable the mills are and how fucked up it makes the grid. Nearly everyone in the industry knows this stuff, but either pretends it doesn't exist or just outright ignores it and does the job anyway since it pays the bills.
True.
Funny story: I've got solar all over my house. People think I'm a nutty green and want to talk to me like I'm a damn commie bastard.
Truth be told, I just figured out how to make very nice return on my investment ... thanks to state and federal subsidizes. Without the state & federal funds, the return is upside down. I'm just good at math ... and playing the system. :)
Yeah I mean the solar panels would work great for you in an emergency... If they weren't mandatory to be tied into the grid and immediately not work when you need them the most

Don't conflate solar with backup power. 2 very different technologies. Solar is on/off with no ability to store capacity. Therefore, you need a battery system (and some other critical equipment) to augment a solar system.
What you want is the ability to 'island' your system. There are 3 systems (that I'm aware of) which will disconnect from the grid when the grid is down and produce power from battery, generator, solar, or gas, bio-mass, hydro or other power solution.
The problem with these systems is $$$$. Better, answer is a propane genny and a 500 gallon tank. Simple and effective.
i totally agree with your assessment.
i see it from a macro view and basically it's smart $ vs. dumb $
the smart $ invests and/or puts seed money into a variety of start ups for whatever upcoming narrative they have planned (pharma, green energy, war, ev, etc.). then they get their friends in government, news and academia to push the hyped up narrative for a few years. then as these companies become a little bigger in the background and become publicly listed all the institutional money that controls hundreds of billions have been instructed to invest into these bullshit narratives. as they do the initial investors make insane returns and dump on the dumb $. then the narrative falls apart and the dumb $ loses again and again. rinse and repeat.
