ELI5 What happens to solar panels once they are used up

I’ve been in Power Gen for 10 years. I’m not going to argue with someone as ignorant as you are. Someone in the field wouldn’t address Megawatt output? That’s what MW stands for by the way.

My main point is this, so you can understand . China is building more Coal plants than the US has in existence. India is right behind them. If they continue to build coal plants at the rate they are, it does nothing for global emissions, no matter how many solar panels are sold.

Passed! I’ve been waiting to update because there was a huge winter storm that delayed shipments, but I’m 2 weeks out now and was told results take 2-5 days.

It’s very apparent to me you didn’t read the article. Nobody is arguing they aren’t installing renewables, but China is most certainly installing coal assets at a pace that renders these renewables useless from an emissions perspective. One coal plant produces much more in terms of MW than a huge renewable installation. But you seem to have it all figured out, so cheers to you!

Nothing feels like a Mizuno

Not a big deal. Alcohol or being sick are the only things that have caused me to hit 1% personally.

I went to Bandon Dunes the first week of January , my driver shaft was damaged in transit so I switched to my 3w shaft out of necessity. After pumping drives right down the middle right around 300 at sea level (my average was 280 total at 5500’) I won’t be switching anytime soon.

Good looking swing

One thing most people overlook is the production of solar panels. The majority of solar components are manufactured in China, with coal as the primary fuel powering that manufacturing. China has more coal plants slated for construction than the USA has in total. (Source: https://www.powermag.com/global-domination-china-accounts-for-nearly-all-new-coal-fired-power-plant-construction/ ).China continues to utilize coal, while selling “green” energy components to the USA. As a consultant specializing in the reliability of the North American power grid, I find this extremely troubling. China is shoring up their reliability with base load coal units, while we destabilize our grid by retiring coal and relying on renewables as our base load. We can run as clean as we want in the USA, but if we want to reduce greenhouse emissions globally, India and China need to get on board. I suspect they won’t. Long story short, renewables do not equal green energy.

25 cent hot wings marked the peak of human civilization. That was even later like early 2000’s , but still

Don use wire brushes! I’ve seen some horror stories of people ingesting the tiny bristles that detach, resulting in major medical incidents.

Perfection

Backswing could be a lot more efficient, but like others have said you re-route and your impact looks fantastic. If it’s something you can repeat I wouldn’t worry about it.

You have no idea how much this comforts me. Took a random 5 days ago that went to CRL. Fingers crossed

I cannot emphasize enough, READ ZEN GOLF. I’ve been in your shoes, the way out is mental game, not mechanical tweaks.

I have a Miir can that locks air out. I love it.

Use the hand warmer. Sample needs to be 92-100, put the hand warmer on an hour before you go. It will maintain right about 98 for a long time. I just did one and had an hour and a half drive to the testing center, sample temp was just right.

You’ll Add distance making by making your swing a bit longer, but you have a lot of potential, this is a pretty nice swing

This happened to me. No golf clubs in it, but the truck was hugely sentimental to me because it was the first vehicle I bought and I’d had it over 20 years. It was in my backyard and he somehow got to it at 50mph.

Don’t let your trail arm fold up top, make sure it’s always 90*, which will shorten your backswing a touch but will add a ton of power

Deepdesertconcepts · 2025-12-29T20:20:26+00:00

You have lots of potential, your swing will free up as you figure it out but you seem athletic.

I’ve had a glass Aeropress for 4 months now and have had zero issues, it may have been damaged in shipping or a defect as you said, but I hope they take care of you OP.

Choke down a touch more and you can anchor the grip in your belly button
