Solar project to destroy thousands of Joshua trees in the Mojave Desert
https://ca.news.yahoo.com/solar-project-destroy-thousands-joshua-100000768.htmlIt’s crazy to me that a destructive photovoltaic solar project like this one is considered reasonable, but a new nuclear power plant within or adjacent to a city is beyond the pale.
Well, at a certain level of generation, adding more isn’t as valuable since the excess needs to be stored to offset the base need. So it makes absolute sense for the compensation to drop as supply goes up.
