You're silly.

It's a very solveable "problem". What they're studying is the most
effective ways of mitigating an issue. Very different from flat panels sitting on another planet!
You're as silly as Rich.

You're silly.
You are clueless. FAN blades which spin at thousands of RPMs and are vertical in orientation collect dust. They can collect so much they become unbalanced.
THEY have to be cleaned.

The article he cited noted that, in the Middle East, about 50% of output is lost from
unattended solar panels - so that _is_ quite different than dust and sand being
no problem because it just blows off a tilted solar panel.
Thus, his comment was not entirely without validity - it may have gone too far, but
then so did you.

Who said they don't? You're silly.
Nope. It's a readily solvable problem, with many possible solutions.
Not too far at all. It's just whacko Rich passive-aggressively
fetishizing over nuclear powered spacecraft.

I don't disagree with that part of it; but that doesn't mean that the article >about Sa'udi Arabia didn't show that some effort is required for a solution.
I'm well aware that Rich takes every opportunity to criticize the failings
or limitations of solar panels, because he seems to think that nuclear
power should be used nearly all the time. And, this time, a mission was
cut short because dust did block the solar panels sooner than expected, >despite an ingenious use of the sample collection arm to dislodge some
of it.
Myself, while I am inclined to agree that there is perhaps an excessive >prejudice against nuclear power, I would still expect it only to be used
when necessary, to keep the safety issue low.
