For a microgrid installation, most of the time it is grid-tied and they are using the PV to shave demand. Sure, the PV system might not be net zero and in a true disaster scenario when the hospital is islanded it’ll be burning diesel as well. It doesn’t mean you can’t make the numbers work.

You know nothing about solar.

Fun Fact: projects like the one in Puerto Rico are not cost-effective.
They will never pay for themselves. While they are neat and all, the batteries are a huge expense that just isn’t justified.

The Math for a microgrid
It isn’t that solar is bad, it is that solar only works, on average, for about 4-5 hours per day in…

sigh. No, I have not seen that sketch, and no, it does not make me stupid or totally ignorant of comedy. You did not give necessary context in your original post, which would have taken you just a few words: “... a sketch written by Pryor.” You say that you left it out because you could not fathom that anyone had…

If he said all that thinking “oh, she’s familiar with my whole persona and will instinctively know that I’m an ally and that I’m mocking racists who might talk like this unironically”, with no explanation whatsoever... yeah, that would be bad.

That Richard Pryor helped write and knew what was coming beforehand. That is not the same as meeting your boyfriend’s friend for the first time.

No, I referenced a FAMOUS comedy sketch. An insanely famous comedy sketch of Richard Pryor’s.(where Chevy Chase played a racist white interviewer). The fact that you have never seen it and are completely unfamiliar with the sketch is astounding.

To be fair, no one needs to be commenting on this story at all.

I guess I am not making my point clear.
I said I was playing “Devil’s advocate”.
“Devil’s advocate” means that I am taking a position that I don’t necessarily agree with and that is outside the normal view. I am not attempting to “mansplain” this term, but you honestly don’t seem familiar with the concept.

My argument…

Except that skit was SNL skit was written by Paul Mooney not Chevy Chase
