Renewable sources provide 7% of the Sunshine State’s power and the costs associated with Florida’s solar farm the clean up and repairs will undoubtedly be massive. Unfortunately, thousands of people in the Sunshine State are still without power.

Florida’s solar farm isn’t the only one to be affected by bad weather. During late March, a solar farm in Damon, Texas was badly damaged resulting from a hail storm too.

During April, a floating solar panel farm in India was nearly wrecked resulting from a storm.

During June of last year, a solar farm experienced massive damage resulting from a tornado in Scottsbluff, Nebraska.

This is a wake up call for proponents of so-called renewable energy advocates. The occurrence of significant storms and the related repair expenses should be a crucial factor in assessing whether a new power facility is suitable for a region. It seems that green energy advocates are not presenting this information, focusing instead on their ideals and beliefs about what should happen.

Like Ayn Rand once said:

You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.
