you still aren't processing the overall efficiency of that shit. it's like eating bugs, it is less efficient than farming chickens on any scale (and the bigger the scale, the better chickens get) solar is like this, in the us it will be a net negative for a home to go solar. cost of the panels vs cost of electricity is about the same, but if you have to call a tech out once to work on something or have stuff replaced (any downtime, even really bad weather for a week) you are going to spend more than you would have is it cleaner? overall it isn't because we bury the old turbines and factor in the repair/upkeep that real life situations have (ask texas) and it's a net negative from every angle. hydropower is legit, solar/wind are only good as backup power sources or things that don't need much power and then solar blows wind away
