      How many facilities (coal or gas) can withstand a direct hit?

      Nuclear probably can, but they are an order of magnitude more expensive than solar and wind.

      You think those panels had enough time to make the positive impact before they were destroyed (to outweigh the cost/resources to make them)?

      This looks like a decent amount of damage, but the thing is a lot of that debris can be broken down and recycled, possibly into new panels. Also the Cost of new panels and time to replace is going to be really low. Finally, a surprising amount of panels seem pretty operational, at least from this view.

      So all in all, the damage is really easy and cheap to recover from.

      Wouldn’t have happened if it was an underground oil pipeline #millenialnotaboomer
