Yeah as soon as a company starts using words like nano diamond, you can tell it's bullshit. If the marketing comes before the R&D, you know they're just a kickstarter style scam.

This could actually make solar power and wind power drastically more scalable. The future is bright :)

Solar panels and wind turbines suck :/ Nuclear reactors are the way to go.

Yeah it's funny how people over on R seem to get a boner for wind turbines and say that our current power is destroying wildlife. However if you point out that these turbines destroy ecosystems and kill a lot of endangered birds they suddenly stop caring about the wildlife and say shit like "it's just a few birds."

It's because Elon Musk owns a solar panel manufacturing company or some shit. Pretty sure you know Redditors get a boner as well when they see anything related to Elon Musk.

I agree, but that doesn't mean solar and wind don't have their uses in the right place.

No, solar is an e-waste disaster and wind kill thousands of endangered bird and bat species. Go read Apocalypse Never and stop being a tool of the coal an oil companies.

Solar is only really viable in places where its almost always sunny, and Wind is only viable in windy areas

Solar will probably be most useful in colonizing space, though I don't know about wind.
