The world according to Fox News...

[astridv]

Yesterday I learned that Fox News Claims Solar Won't Work in America Because It's Not Sunny Like Germany.

And I laughed.

Then I cried a little, specifically when I saw the charts that depict the actual photovoltaic resource of Germany compared to the US. Guys, we're getting less sunlight than Alaska. Alaska. That I did not know. I did know that we're not exactly getting a *lot*... one can't really help but notice. Last month it was an all-time low record of 10 hours. (Ten!) (That was for the entire month of January, where I live.)

I assume Alaska ranks a little higher than us because of all the sun they get during the summer. But still, it's frikking depressing, is what it is. About as depressing as the brain-frying stupidity emanating from Fox News' air waves.

My first thought was "Are you mocking us, Fox News?!"

I want their smug so-called expert to spend a few month here. Sunny my ass.

Yeah. Though who knows whether their ignorance would be cured by direct experience to the contrary. These people seem fairly inoculated against reality in general. Maybe their minds wouldn't let them perceive it, even while sitting in the dark and dank for some months...

*splut!*

The spluttering sound I made just startled the cat.
