No. Both only have an ROI of less than a decade IN CERTAIN SPECIFIC SITUATIONS.
Solar in SoCal, Nevada, New Mexico and Arizona generally have a fast payback. Because they see tons of son overall. Solar in Hawaii has a fast payback because the price of power in Hawaii is high due to geographic isolation.
Solar power in Chicago, or Minneapolis or Detroit or Seattle is a MUCH different story. Sure, they can provide economical power. But, without subsidies, the payback period extends pretty much to the EOL for the system itself.
Wind power is great through most of the middle of the US, colloquially known as "Tornado Alley".
But in Idaho, upstate Washington, and Eastern Tennesee? You will NEVER see a payback on on a Wind Turbine install. Even with HUGE subsidies.
And the only reason Nuclear (in any form) will not be successful is down to religion/politics. The cult of "Nukes = Bombs = Bad" has indoctrinated so many people that a discussion can't even be had without a bunch of autistic screeching that nobody really has the time or patience for.
Contrary to popular belief, I think the use of solar power (ESPECIALLY in areas where the price of power is exorbitant or the availability is limited), makes absolute sense.
I just have a tendency to call shenanigans on some of the hyperbole being used.
I'm sure, on a more local level (like Texas), Wind accounts for a more significant portion per-capita. As does solar in areas with lots of sunshine (like Nevada and Hawaii).
But considering that Nuclear, which is essentially stagnant or post-peak due to the way the market's been poisoned against it, is producing over three times the power that Wind and Solar do on an AGGREGATE basis.
And that Coal and Hydro (which is post-peak) EACH produce about five times what Wind and Solar (again aggregate) do.
I'd say calling Wind and Solar "unstoppable" at this point is putting the cart WELL before the horse...as in "What's that out there on the horizon?"
This started in 2014 and finished up on 12 January 2017. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but Trump didn't swear in until the 20th.
So the entirety of this sad debacle in the suppression of freedom of speech happened on Obama's watch.
Not that it was necessarily Obama's fault either. But, by your brain-dead "logic" it is...
This is about a collusion between state government agencies to shut someone up who is attempting to alert the public to one or more agencies' shady practices at the expense of said public.
I merely have a significant portion of my customer base that's tried Dynamics and would rather go back to punch cards than use it.
I've also been tasked with migrating some of these people off Dynamics and trying to actually get the data out has been about as pleasant as taking a belt sander to my dangly bits. Both for on-premises and Hosted Dynamics.
I've had at least three where Microsoft themselves were completely unable to recover data from a hosted setup and the client finally opted to start their data from scratch. And I'm not talking "free support trying to upsell", I'm talking paid Microsoft technicians whose job it is to know the platform going "This shouldn't be happening" and eventually throwing their hands up.
I got paid for all my time, regardless. And since it wasn't MY data, I didn't have a dog in the fight.
My company deals with CRM platforms. And just about anybody who's ever had experience with Dynamics has pretty much run away from the platform, screaming.
And I can understand why.
When even MICROSOFT cannot recover a proper SQL backup out of their own data with regards to MULTIPLE versions of Dyanmics and SQL Server. you KNOW something's wrong. Hell, even a simple contact export seems beyond them.
And let's not even get into (lack of) usability or (dearth of) performance...
It's one of those terms that people who like to pretend they're well educated use.
Unfortunately they conflate it with "devastate" (to lay waste or make desolate; ravage; destroy. to confound or overwhelm).
The misuse has persisted so long that it's distressingly common nowadays among the Inteligencia-wannabes. A side-effect of morons who have been indoctrinated by morons indoctrinating yet another generation of morons.
Most of these 1 star reviews are coming from brand new accounts and this is THE only review by said account.
I REALLY don't think a nuke of reviews for this entry based on these two criteria (and the suspension/banning of the accounts created to do so) is a HUGE step.
If they want to expand it to the entirety of the IP space of Turkey? Go ahead.
Is this really "a thing" now? If so, and you're worrying about it, just please fucking shoot yourself. For the good of humanity. Just off you over-sensitive ass and have done!
It's not BK's problem that Google's device security is half-baked shit.
Exactly. How many GOVERNMENT sites are the single point of access for those services?
Hell, my job itself REQUIRES internet connectivity. If I can't support my place of business' IP phone and am unable to remote into the systems of our company or our clients I DO NOT HAVE A JOB and have to try to go work at McDonalds...
This guy is living in the fucking 60's. In a home for the developmentally disabled. On life support. In a vegetative state.
This is the problem with voice activated autonomous "assistants" though. There is, essentially, NO SECURITY. So simply stringing together "Okay Google! And any random command generates an action.

I've seen it.

That's MISTER Schlub to YOU buddy!
And assuming a flat progression such as this will leave you wondering why Solar STILL hasn't taken over in 2030.
Sure, maybe for banking sites and anything where money changes hands.
I can understand that.
But why the FUCK do I have to do it on someone's stupid WordPress or Joomla site?
Hell, even company sites. If all they're serving is flat HTML content who gives a shit about HTTPS?
But NO! Their website is now SUSPECT! Are you REALLY sure you want to ENDANGER yourself?
It's the whole fucking popup verification debacle all over again!
"Are you sure?" Yes.
"Are you sure?" Yes.
"Are you sure?" Yes.
"Nuke your hard drive and fuck you in the ass?" Yes...wait WHAT?
TOO LATE!
Wind accounted for 5.6% of power generation in 2016.
Solar accounted for 0.9%.

Essentially it's a verbal shorthand for "Yes, I'm not just some schlub, I DO know what I'm talking about."
Fuck that noise.
Freedom of speech. It's for everyone, not just those who agree with you.
No thanks.
Not interested.
Got a job offer out there back in the late 90's for roughly triple what I was earning at the time.
But they I did a cost-of-living analysis.
After taxes and expenses I'd have been making more, but I'd have just about broken dead-even with ZERO savings.
Living paycheck to paycheck in the Bay Area? FUCK THAT!
Not to mention the fact that a million bucks can't even buy you a port-a-potty in the Bay Area today...
I'll do my OWN fact checking thank you very much.
I don't need some partisan jackass deigning to shovel their "right-think" at me.
Uh. What does Trump have to do with this?

Corporate raiding. It's...profitable?

And, quite honestly, the idea that everyone should always love one another, regardless of difference is as naive as it is crazy.
Seriously?
No. The meaning has NOT changed.
The meaning has been conflated by people who don't understand the proper usage of the term.
This is not the same thing.
It's one of those terms that people who like to pretend they're well educated use.

Is why I refuse to have Facebook on my mobile devices.
Half-baked? It is totally unbaked. There is no security whatsoever.
Sorry. Had a weak moment and was trying to be nice.
NEVER AGAIN!
