Funnily enough, I'm Spanish and the meme is somehow also accurate here?

Yeah, in my opinion you were clear about that in your comment, so I guess people are just being outraged assuming that "they're not supporting solar!!!!"
I really don't know why people are downvoting you. The internet is full of journalistic coverage of new developments in the field of photovoltaic and electric batteries, and journalistic coverage of science is generally... poor. They overstate the importance of everything because they wanna make clickbait, and the result is that it feels like there's a nonstop of development, of new battery technologies that are gonna change the world... It's frankly exhausting, like, give me real data as you say, such as capacity installed per year, trends in battery capacities and prices and the reasons for that, and so on and so forth.
I hope solar eventually beats ICE engines for efficiency
I'm not sure your comment makes a lot of sense. The problem with solar isn't that it's not as efficient as internal combustion engines, it's that you can't generate electricity on-demand. But it's already a cheaper form of energy than burning fossil fuels in many countries.
Please tell us how environmentally friendly bringing infrastructure like internet, roads, electricity, water or garbage disposal to low-population density areas is, and how resource-efficient single family houses are. Go off living your happiest life, mate, just don't preach about the sustainability of it when your eco-footprint is twice that of a city dweller.
As advice: for solar panels to charge an EV, you're gonna need a fuckton of them. An EV battery is easily 50kWh, which means a 10kW solar installation producing full energy for 5 hours (assuming perfect efficiency on conversion). So be ready to buy a lot of panels.
56% of humans live in cities, and this is increasing over time. It's cool that you're the exception who lives kilometers away from the nearest store (poor planning in your village though), but the reality is that by proper city-planning and good public transit investment, most people wouldn't even need to have cars at all.
Wow, 1 megameter for a vehicle weighing 2 megagrams. That's some serious efficiency
No gambling though
If you don't wanna be insulted, don't simp for the oppressors. I'd insult you if you said "I love absolutist monarchy!"
Blood is an ingredient in many other countries. We have blood sausages (morcilla) in Spain, and they're common in many other places too
Not really, and I say this being a communist myself. Capitalism just requires to extract the maximum profit from the capital investment, sometimes it leads to what you said, sometimes it leads to the opposite (e.g. no difference between i5 1st gen and i5 8th gen)
