  It's free money. You'd be crazy not to put up panels at $.20/kwh
What?! But I was told renewables were going to cost us jobs!
- Renewables’ EROEI will be sufficiently low compared to now such that the need for human powered manual labour will vastly increase. More jobs!
  
  (Note, the EROEI on non renewables will be effectively zero, as they will be gone, so there isn’t a choice)

Is it weird I immediately recognize this guy because he competed in the electrician games or whatever it was called? Me and a tradie friend sat and shat on everything they did because working on a jobiste after the electricians and the plumbers means you're cleaning up their mess and fixing everything they did wrong, or at least pointing it out for them to fix it.
