Fifteen acres of solar panels to power that plant.  Still not sure how they power it at night, but it would take a gargantuan amount of batteries to source 480 VAC for basic plant operation.  I suspect they have worked out a tradeoff with normal power generation where they supply excess power to the grid during the day and recover that power back at night.  Which means that even though they can claim to net zero, they are still dependent on nighttime power generation from other sources. 

And fifteen acres of land?   That's a heck of an impact on nature.  Fifteen acres no longer available for anything else, including CO₂ removal by a typical forest.

RFKjr must be taking votes from Trump now...

Just in case y'all missed this part:


That's the line. Dog crossed it. I have put down a dog I dearly loved over seriously biting the wrong person. Frankly, If I did not, it would have been done for me. It sucks, it's a tough job, but one that has to be done. Doing what has to be done, the hard job, justly, even if it is not popular or enjoyable, when it needs to be done, well, that's something leaders need to have in order to be effective.
