Fox News explains why solar power works in Germany, but not here.

I heard this on the radio this morning. To say I was surprised would be wrong but I was disgusted. These people want to make their viewers stupider and stupider so that they will swallow anything they're fed.

No surprise, spreading stupidity and misinformation is what Fox does best.
Did anyone check out the high speed rail article on that same page?

But then, Fox already has its get out of jail free card. It can legally lie if it wants to.

Yes, and an employee's refusal to lie as instructed is legitimate grounds for dismissal.
Truly disgusting!

Ok, so I'll bite. Here in MI, there's no way in hell that solar energy would ever be economical. Why? There's not enough days / hours of sunlight per year to make solar power generation an economically viable energy source. Hell, we can go for a week or more with no sunny days in the winter. Just solid cloud cover.
Now, if that's the point that the Fox News person is attempting to make, albeit poorly stated, then that makes sense to me, just base on my experience here in MI. I've not attempted to Google and see if there's any info out there comparing average hours of sunshine per year by country. Maybe that would be a revealing exercise.

So, your weather is kind of like it is in....GERMANY?

Maybe it would prove to you that you believe everything you hear from the Fox propaganda machine, no matter how absurd? Or, would that be too much to ask?

Um, huh? I didn't see the actual clip, just read the transcript posted in he OP. Don't watch TV news much, because most of it makes me want to puke. So, I'm not sure what the hell you're getting at with your post.
