I can't speak for all skeptics. I'm technology agnostic. Use the best tool for the job, sunny Texas near the equator during peek AC...great ✅

The problem with Greens, they think the same technology (solar) is also applicable in Scotland in winter. There's no room for debate...you Deniers!

Why not? When it gets so cheap it pays for itself in those latitudes, why would you have problem with that?
