Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Love it. People look at me like I'm crazy for trying to go greener, and I see this stuff online all the time.
"Haha EVs are so dangerous! Look at the fire hazard" like you aren't literally parking a tank of explosive gas in your house every night
"It doesn't have nearly the range of gas" They say while driving a massive truck that needs filling every week, meanwhile my charger at home is needed once a week and costs 1/6th a tank of gas
"Solar doesn't even cover the entire electric bill" Sure, it only halves it...
So much simping for big oil companies. Always reminds me of this from the Simpsons
Yeah I've got family that are like this. I'm kinda wondering what you'd actually need for solar to change a vehicle for say a drive to work and back in a mid sized city (10-30km) on the average electric vehicle.
One the the reasons I haven't gone solar here is not so much cloud as cloud+half the year the things are gonna be covered in snow+smoke during the summer (we actually have issues with solar-powered parking kiosks already due to this).
If I won the jackpot though I'd definitely go "prepper" with one item being a solar-powered retreat I'm a location that gets a decent amount of sun without too much dangerous weather.
Has anyone done the actual math?
Shot in the dark: you're in BC?
Could be anywhere in Canada really.
