     to begin with "electrical transmission costs, what's that?"

     @Will2Power @sickburnbro Same with wind. It destroys the local environment, and greats a literal gauntlet for migrating birds.

     @Elliptica @Will2Power also we really don't know what disrupting airflow on this level will do. Urban Heat Island effect itself makes me think "nothing good"

     @sickburnbro I hate solar so much. It's so ugly and inefficient.

     @skylar @Elliptica @DMA @Will2Power yeah, there are very very very few people that understand how electrical generation works, and every fewer who understand how it works at scale.
     
     I have a basic working knowledge and I know enough that it's something that is extremely bad to mess with.
     
     Once you lose synchronization it is hard to regain.

     @DMA @Will2Power @sickburnbro You see it this bad in South west Texas too. Literally, probably a third of the US Mexico border is blocked by these things.

     @Elliptica @DMA @Will2Power @sickburnbro solar is also likely to fail unexpectedly during periods of high demand
     when there's a sudden surge of demand, the grid frequency is dragged downward, and inverters don't have the stabilizing effect that the gorrillions of tons of rotating mass in turbines and generators from traditional energy sources do.
     chat, what do we do if we're a grid tie inverter and the AC frequency drops significantly below 60Hz? trip offline and throw an error code cause something's clearly wrong. better to disconnect than risk letting the magic smoke out of something expensive.
     what does the sudden loss of a little energy source do to the grid? drop the frequency even further.
     yay opportunity for cascading failure

     @sickburnbro @skylar @Elliptica @DMA There's no inertia with all these fancy renewable power generation gizmos. It's not as stable as the old reliable rotating machines.
