Ok but like why wouldn't a solar farm be an acceptable alternative?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Putting solar farms in urban areas instead of rural ones doesn't make much sense.

How so? A) Less transmission lines to where it's needed and b) more qualified/trained staff centralized to the solar installs.

I'm not against rural solar by any stretch but I can't fathom being against urban solar? We need to solar all the things.

In my post I literally said that solar can be put on top of houses so I'm not sure why you want to argue with me about this. I just think urban areas are better served by homes with solar on top than parking lots with solar on top.

Okay, reasonable enough, I had read your response as "no solar, just homes and put the solar in rural".
