New solar panels are being developed that generate electricity at night via ambient temperature.  I do not know the exact details

You do realize what the word 'solar' indicates, right?

Solar panels still generate power on overcast days.

No, they really don't. Rule of thumb up in here is that you need twice the panels you need in the summer to make in the winter, and you will still be on the Jenny at least once a week to catch up. Cloudy days severely hamper solar generation.

"Off grid" has a meaning...

It is also highly likely they get power off the grid when the sun isn't shining. Kind of dumb to build an expensive battery farm while connected to the grid unless you expect the grid to go down.

Solar panels still generate power on overcast days. I expect BD has battery backup to a degree.

They are still connected to the grid because BD says they are selling excess power back to the local electric company

Here's a text I got from my son-in-law (a decades-long baseball fan who bleeds Dodger blue).

From the USA Today farm system rankings:

2) Houston Astros.... have not had a great farm system for quite some time now and perhaps that lack of attention to their lower levels is finally starting to take its toll... this team doesn't seem to have much going for it on the pitching side...

That "2" ranking is second-worst btw  😞


Isn't that what Jeff Luhnow was so good at? Was Dana Brown supposed to fill those shoes? What's Jim Crane's roll? Help me out, Astros fans. Who has let us down?
I have written 1000 word posts at baseball forums of how unfairly Luhnow was blamed for the cheating scandal.  I still stand by that 100%.

What you are witnessing is the dynasty that he built has been torn down systeatically by the likes of Crane, Bagwell, and Dusty Baker.

Oh it's late. They are getting 100% of their power needs from their solar farm. You are nitpicking. You knew exactly what I meant

“We must create an environment where all voices are heard, respected and valued regardless of their viewpoint or backgrounds,” Alimam said, who was at Friday’s protest and witnessed the arrests.

Hysterical.  These are the same kids that drive off conservative speakers in the name of wokeness.

Go ASU.  Arest all of their sorry asses.

And "B&D said they are 100% off the grid and actually sell excess energy back".

Well, you can't be off grid while at the same time connected to the grid to sell it back.

Just damn...

Not a surprise.
