    Does anyone have articles about the differences between centralized solar like this and decentralized solar? I’m all for renewables but this is a lot of desert ecosystems that will be destroyed for this project.

    Love getting down voted for being against the destruction of fragile ecosystems

      Good point. I’d like to hear more on this. Seems to me like the strongest electrical infrastructure would be a federated system as opposed to fully centralized. We also wouldn’t lose acres of otherwise untouched land that way.

        Oh look it’s the guy who believes that you can only be autistic if you’re 100% dependent on your parents. Why am I not surprised that you advocate for the destruction of ecosystems instead of decentralized generation.

            The comment you made to someone who’s diagnosed with autism where you try to invalidate because the symptoms are not as bad as someone with more support needs.

            It’s very difficult to actually get “diagnosed” with autism. You and I may have some of the similarities of some of the traits but it’s not even close to what a kid with diagnosed autism actually has. Most don’t talk, don’t understand any social cues and they destroy everything in the house. Good luck going on in public because at any minute they can start screaming and won’t stop no matter what. They also will start running wherever they please and you can’t tell them not to because they don’t get it. If it makes you feel better being self diagnosed on the fringe of the spectrum to make you feel better, more power to ya. Bring on the downvotes - you all simply have no idea.

                And you’re saying it is easy? What even is your point? Do you enjoy going into places where people with a disability like to share their experiences and invalidate them because your life is pathetic?

                    And yet you followed me into a different community simply to berate me. Yeah you sound well adjusted. Your kid is oh so lucky to have such an understanding parent.
