Hey Marines - Just Carry a Solar Panel
« on: May 28, 2021, 02:55:54 PM »
Kamala Harris gave the 2021 graduation address at the Naval Academy. She feels Marines would rather carry a rolled up solar panel than 20lbs of batteries. I don't know what the hell she's talking about, but she must come from a planet that has no night.

Those aholes stole the election and everyone knows it.  And now that they're "in charge", they have no idea what to do, since they know they're illegitimate and so does everyone else.

Kind of awkward.

IIRC, solar panels flexible enough to roll up are made from amorphous silicon and only has an efficiency rate of less than 20%.
Crystal silicon panels that can break like glass, aren't much better at about 25-30%.

And that's the only binary allowed.
