"Unfortunately, it's dirty, which is why people are even considering something as inefficient as solar energy." Smart Americans have been considering solar for a long time.

Solar already employs more people than coal mining, which has 93,185 workers This is an apples-to-oranges comparison, and I'm not surprised that the left-wing media is falling for it. 1) No one "mines" solar energy. 2) You don't have to install "coal panels" on your rooftop to take advantage of coal power. Two very different tasks, many different challenges. To say that solar power is a bigger "job creator" than the coal industry is stupid because it all depends on how you count those jobs and how much those jobs are actually producing. After all, coal still generates much, much more electricity than solar. It's cheaper, too. Unfortunately, it's dirty, which is why people are even considering something as inefficient as solar energy. You are not saying one thing that supports your position........a position frankly that is hardly well defined. You are simply stringing words together to make your case and refute Wharf's post........one that exists outside the facts. I suspect you have been doing this your entire life and getting away with it. Its BS.
