>people vastly overestimate their efficacy and efficiency

If anything, solar has demonstrated over the past 2 decades that it is a lot more effective and economical than even the most bullish of predictions that have been made about it. (Seriously, look at projections for solar deployment and generation vs what actually happened, it's kind of crazy how much it was underestimated)

“I don’t know if they’re woke”

Yes you do. They’re not.

> I think people vastly overestimate their efficacy and efficiency

Of course, you can argue that people doctor the numbers (for example, failing to take into account the lifetime cost of nuclear power, or failing to note how hopelessly optimistic a pure solar power grid with no batteries might be) when they present said numbers… but the idea that any kind of power generation can be “woke” is beyond belief.

That isn’t an adjective that can be applied to physical processes.

Solar power is not woke. Gravity is not woke. Electricity is not woke. Don’t be daft.
