Not quite sure of the logic in that Jan. It translates as “
what use are [the] candle and [the pair of] glasses if the owl doesn't want to see”
Owls have the ability to fly at night.
A lot of the so called green energy is just smoke and mirrors while shifting the problem elsewhere.If you choose to live in a cold latitudes then provision has to be made for the winter. Urban areas don’t have the ability to run wood stoves so they rely on electricity generation from stations like Drax in the UK. This was a coal fired power station using local coal but now runs on so called green wood pellets cut down in Canada by diesel power and then shipped thousands of miles in vessels burning heavy oil. How green is that!
Most of the materials used for battery powered vehicles come from China and third world locations where people are exploited and the rich get richer on so called carbon credits.
Battery powered aircraft are toys and I see no reason to not use current technology and fossil fuels. Just look at the advances in turbine fans and explain how you can improve on it.
