Researchers have found that solar panels increase city temperature variations, causing cities to be hotter during the day and colder during the night. At the same time, these larger temperature swings result in higher wind speeds and potentially greater pollution.
I’m sure nobody is going to use THIS is bad faith. What could go wrong?
The greater pollution they’re talking about is:
Pollution that already exists, just possibly spread around a little more.
I also didn’t see anything about their assumptions about solar panel-less roofs. Going to be pretty big differences if they’re assuming the Un-paneled roofs are all painted white, vs black, for instance.
We could get rid of individual car traffic in cities to compensate for both. :)
