Got banned from [email protected] for pointing out that it was a big reach to say that wind power is included in the term “solar energy”. The mod referenced a temp ban from two years ago? Tried to say I’ve got a “history” of trolling and harassment, as well that I “doxxed” user DMs which also happened two years ago. I even, at the time, talked with the mod involved and reposted that comment without the DM screenshots. Like I don’t have an entirely squeaky clean modlog but it’s only a single page over two years? What the fluff? Like it’s a two week ban and I could hardly care but jeeze this feels like overreach.

    If you think about it, oil is just rotting plants, and what do plants use to grow? That’s right - the sun. Therefore burning oil is solar energy uwu

    Seriously tho, even if there was a reasonable argument to be had for “wind = solar” banning someone for discussion about the topic is a certified powertrip clsssic

      All the energy comes from the sun. Hydroelectric? Yes it’s the sun the one rising that water up so we can use all that energy when it goes down. Nuclear? Those heavy elements only form deep in the stars. Geothermal? The earth would be pretty cold by now if it weren’t for that shiny bastard. It’s really the only source of low entropy energy the planet has.

      Still, including wind power in the term ‘solar energy’ is a stretch.
