Just thought I’d share this brilliant post from them today.
Gateway Pundit

It’s the Gateway Pundit. Jacob Wohl is now writing for it. Not the sharpest tools in the shed but damn good Trump sycophants.
It's a miracle that space craft can survive on solar energy...in space...where it's cold...
Gateway Pundit is about as close to fake news as you can get, but Trump conservatives are making it mainstream.
You know, NASA does not use solar energy at all to keep our astronauts warm inside the space shuttle or the ISS.
In space, when sunlight hits the ISS, that side of the station can heat up very hot since there is no atmosphere to filter and block direct radiation. So more attention is paid to actually cool and conduct thermal exchange in the outer layers of the ships surface. Special types of insulation are used to help maintain a constant temperature inside.
To the OP’s point, a typical American house would not have enough surface area to generate enough electricity to keep an electric furnace going in temperatures like the Midwest is experiencing. So technically, the stupid Con you Libs are trying to bash has a point.
Lol at you thinking solar panels keep spaceships warm.

You lol at wendy thinking solar panels keep spaceships warm. Your link is titled "Staying Cool on ISS". Wendy claimed space craft can survive on solar power.
Hmm.
Why would a satellite or probe with no people inside need to stay warm? They only need to stay warm enough to keep the components working and sunlight and insulation take care of that. So her message is basically saying solar panels can run a probe/satellite is not an apples to apples comparison with OP’s post unless she was referring to humans in space.
Bold move displaying that you are as dumb as the twit on Twitter.
I interpreted her comment as a joke and literally accurate. You changed her comment and tore it down. Then, the link to support your ownage had a seemingly opposite meaning.
I just thought the whole bit amusing.
Read it again. You’re inventing facts. Are there any conservatives who value reading comprehension anymore?
Sorry, I meant to say great multi paragraph ownage of the libtard.
Yeah, I'm trying to see where I said people are kept warm in space using solar panels.
But not for nothing, and this is not related to cosmic space, but solar panels are more efficient at colder temps.
LOL at you, thinking solar power isn't needed to keep them at a comfortable temperature, because everything you've pointed out requires ENERGY. Energy provided by a solar array.
No, dog. Read your own link; the side facing the sun is very hot. Stuff in the shadows is very very cold. You use solar energy to properly DISTRIBUTE the heat, and vent excess heat. Solar panels that are working in about 3°K temperatures. In comparison, in Chicago, the solar panels are operating at about 260°K.
Sure, some power is needed to run equipment but the concept that the heat is generated by solar is bunk.
INCLUDING climate-control equipment. No one claimed it was specifically for generating heat; which makes the info in the OP doubly stupid.
What is amazing about the ISS/shuttles is that if power failure occurred the system that works to help regulate temperature is pretty low on the priority list. The capsules are so well insulated that they can maintain a safe temperature for quite some time with no system running. Power is reserved for oxygen system, essential communications in extreme cases.
As for OP, I think there is point calling out anyone who thinks more solar would help in extreme winter conditions. Hard to power gas furnaces with electricity afterall. If you live in an area where you can get by on an electric furnace than chances are high you are hardly affected by Alberta clippers/polar vortex’s.
Nope. Uneven temperatures w/o fans to circulate air would make areas inhabitable in fairly short order.
This is pretty fun! You do realize that electric fans distribute the air that is heated by the gas furnace, right?

If you want to install a $10K solar array to power those fans, go for it!
Sure it will. He'll continue to post nonsense and then claim victory. His last name is probably "Trump".
Sure. It can also run your AC in summer, power your computer, television, refrigerator, microwave, etc.
And people pay less on the loan for the panels than they would have for buying that electricity off the grid.
So that's the only thing you think the electricity from the panels would power. Brilliant! Keep it up, it just gets better and better!
It still makes me laugh that some posters on here would post shit from this shitbag site to help their random stupid arguments as if it isn't absolute fake news trash.
