Hail Hath No Fury: Why Climate Change And Solar Farms Don’t Mix
by Pete Colan  Mar 28, 2024 in News And Opinion, Renewables
 

I just ran across a news story about a massive solar “farm” in Texas destroyed by hail. I will use the word “farm” only twice in this article in association with solar panels because that’s what everyone likes to call them, but putting solar panels on a vacant field is an insult to “farming,” so I’m going to call it a solar field instead. [emphasis, links added]

I then internet-searched “hailstorm destroys solar farm” (that’s the last time I’m using those two words together) and clicked on “Images.”


Stunning is the only word that comes to mind. This is not the first time delicate solar fields have been destroyed by nature — it’s happening all over.

But wait!  “Anthropogenic climate change” causes more frequent and more harsh hailstorms according to published studies like this one:

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
