I'm not sure what you mean about them "not scaling". Do you mean that they don't work at night? What are you expecting people to say about that?

I linked an article above, I suggest you read it before asserting that my issues with solar are simply irrelevant. Here are others:

You cannot simply ignore and hand wave off "inconvenient facts" because you have a strong dislike for "climate deniers".

Again, nobody is ignoring these issues. They just aren't using them as reasons not to do solar power.
