The Skylight is Mine: Solar Make Big Sky Ball Go Boom

So this is the first piece of BS that flies my way with the new blog look? And it comes out of Wyoming. Not as many people there so I guess the idiots can shout over the nonexistent crowd. The Wyoming Institute of Technology claims that solar panels are sucking away the sun's energy. I am not paraphrasing- this is what a scientist actually said:

“Imagine a waterfall, dumping water. But you aren’t catching the water in buckets, but rather sucking it in with a vacuum cleaner. Eventually, you’re going to suck in so much water that you drain the river above that waterfall completely. Currently, solar panels are an energy niche, and do not pose a serious risk to the sun. But if we converted our grids to solar energy in a big way, with panels on domestic homes and commercial businesses, and paving our parking lots with panels, we’d start seeing very serious problems over time. If every home in the world had solar panels on their roofs, global temperatures would drop by as much as thirty degrees over twenty years, and the sun could die out within three hundred to four hundred years.”

Let's go back to elementary school science. Better yet, let's just turn to They Might Be Giants-

The sun is hot. It is so hot that everything on it is a gas: iron, copper, aluminum, and many others.

The sun is large. If the sun were hollow, a million Earths could fit inside. And yet, the sun is only a middle-sized star.

The sun is far away. About 93 million miles away, and that's why it looks so small.

Not only that, the sun is old and has the power to create gravitational orbit for four other planets further away than Earth. Much further away, and two of them could fit at least nine or ten Earths in them.

I can't believe I have to say this, but we could not "suck the power from the sun" if we covered Jupiter in solar panels and put it in Mercury's orbit (am I getting to technical for ya'll in the back of the class?)

People actually believe this load of crap.

Be prepared to cry my friends. WIT is calling solar panels the worst man-made thing to happen to climate change and oil and fossil fuels are the way to go. This hurts my head and makes me want to grow claws and fangs.
