I appreciate you sharing this article because I never before considered that planners would have to think about hail when building solar panels in certain parts of the country.
Same, and this would be a problem in places where there are tornadoes as well. So as climate becomes more volatile, a lot of places won't be suitable for stuff like solar farms.
Now that I think of it, this couples with the tornado region of the country shifting Eastward too. They will have to revise their planning in response.
I'm pretty sure a big enough tornado hitting any power plant is pretty bad for the power plant
Sure, but solar panels are much more fragile than say large concrete buildings.
A hailstorm shattered my bedroom window last year. Baseball sized hail is no joke.
I've been left bruised by pea sized hailstorms in the past, baseball sized hailstones could literally kill someone.
The scary thing is it wasn't even forecasted. It just suddenly happened.
Called Gorilla hail, term used by the storm chaser Reed Timmer and adopted by the weather community as a description for giant random hailstones!
Got some baseball sized hail last year, was lucky to only have some dents on the car. It was kind of a traumatizing to witness and hear tbh. Sounded like thousands of light bulbs being smashed on the ground.
perfectly good baseball sized hail and y'all aren't outside for batting practice. SMH. Yer never gonna hit dingers like this.
see! Woke green energy is bad! "
