Who cares if it works?
This is how the green racket usually works: Come up with some pie-in-the-sky project for green energy production, no matter how unfeasible it is, propose it to technically ignorant bureaucrats – who have no problem allowing and funding it – to build it It, and, after realizing it will never work, abandon it and let the next generation deal with the mess.

At the same time, you will make a decent amount of money.
The latest possible example of such a project is “Axpo in Glarus Süd”, described by Blackout News: “The solar panels at Mutsi Dam failed after two years – solar power plants are not suitable for mountainous areas.”
The Swiss Axpo Glarus Süd solar project includes the installation of solar panels on a dam in an ideal orientation.
The environment is extremely harsh
it has been hailed as a groundbreaking project It is designed to have a service life of 20 years and provide green power to nearly 3,000 people at a time (at least in the summer).
But, as Blackout News reports: “Just two years later, quite a few problems have become apparent. According to the “Südostschweiz” newspaper, about 270 of the approximately 5,000 solar panels installed were damaged.
Solar panels in the harsh environment of the Swiss Alps? What problems might arise?
Of course, the builder and those approving the project must be familiar with With extremely harsh winter conditions and heavy snowfall in the Swiss Alps, the system never stood a chance.
Apparently, no one cares about reality anymore. It seems that the important thing is Grab all the green cash and store it.
Panel damaged after just two years
In operation for only two years, 270 panels (5%) of the Muttsee project needed to be replaced at a high cost.
Just watch the Axpo promotional video and see what equipment is needed to set up the project. Helicopters, cranes, rigging and crews of this size don't come cheap:
So far I have found no data on the payback time for this project.
Another embarrassing fact: “The full extent of the damage became clear only when the snow at 2,500 meters above sea level completely melted,” Blackout News reported.
No one realized the damage until spring arrived.
