Etymology
The specific name is derived from Latin textilis (meaning a woven textile).
gollark: The 80% of power back thing pretends the grid is a large battery, when it's *not*, and you'll just be using fossil fuels probably.
gollark: Well, sure. But I don't think it's a good general solution.
gollark: Nuclear is much better, but people go "OH NO NUCLEAR SCARY" and yet seemingly do not care about the alternative effectively being fossil fuels?
gollark: Or batteries, which have their own problems.
gollark: The panels are really energy-intensive to produce anyway, degrade after 20 years, and you need uncool fossil-fuel plants to cover for the solar panels when they don't produce, which is often.
