l literally did this a few hours ago

Me living in a state that doesn't have rolling blackouts...

Okay so just to be clear.

You are in an extreme heat wave. There is no power. You see your neighbors struggling due to the heat. You have the ability to invite them over cool down. Doing so would cost virtually $0.

You instead post a meme on lemmy making fun of them.

Even if you don't get along with them, doing something like this would be a huge way to mend fences.

You might try to not be an asshole to them and invite them in. You'd probably be able to get them more on biased with solar. But then you'd have to give up the opportunity to be a snarky troll.

Buy a spare ac and extension cord and run it in the front lawn just to mess with em!

Goddamn libs with their goddamn sun power

where’s the diesel generators?? Fucking commies haven’t figured out that something has to explode first to get anywhere!!!

/s

do NOT let them sleep in their car, there's a real risk they could die if from asphyxiation. Here in Mexico there were blackouts from the record heat and there was a family who slept in their car for the ac. They unfortunately all died

Where I am you can collect a bounty for reporting people who idle cars like this. It's a massive contributor to smog.

This is one of the huge overlooked advantages of electric cars, provided that the manufacturer added the feature (it's insane that some don't) you can straight up power your house for DAYS on the car battery.

I freaking live in the desert so i know I'd have solar 16h a day for like 9 months but i also know that solar panels optimal temp is 25°. In here, it's a least 35, almost always above 40, often 45++ in the summer. Heck, there's days and days of consecutive 49° and somehow never reach 50° making me believe that if it reach 50° the government is required by international laws to not allow citizens out or something.

Tell me about your experience? I've been interested, but it's admittedly daunting.

"hyah hyah hyah. Molly my dear, come look at the poors with me! What a riot, look at how hot they are!"

If Gilligan's island were real, they'd have eaten Thurston Howell first. Just sayin'.

I've tried Googling it and failed, where are you OP?

Not everyone can afford the installation costs.

Lol this thread. So many entitled people out there.

Fuck you OP

I want solar too, but I can't afford it

Battery backup likely last 2 hours on AC. Good luck with that.
