This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

(Invidious version)

From the description:

When I first started researching this episode about the history of solar energy, I would have never imagined it'd also include some pretty juicy details on fossil fuel company greed ...

This video has it all: facts about the sun, solar flares and electromagnetic fields, and insights into the early inventions (SO early -- the 1800s!!!) that paved the way for today's solar energy technology.
