Perfect match, got a first half nap in, missed nothing, then got a good end-to-end show for the second half. Bonus to my kiddo echoing Andres Cantor as loudly as possible for all 5 goals.

I still keep learning ew things that I just love about my Brompton. Just added the top tube toolkit, and did the trick of wrapping up a spare tube in cellophane with a string to store in the opposite tube. Feels like it’s ready for just about anything.

It’s a tough one to figure out, they get crazy high land efficiency (MW/ac) packing in the panels like that. Upfront civil seems like it would be a much bigger issue than indicated. On the plus side, wind loading isn’t an issue.

I have personally worked on solar on former orchards in the southwest, but they were dying off due to lack of water in the first place. Odd to “blame” solar for those losses if the farmers were already winding them down. Plus growing oranges in Arizona feels kinda crazy.

Agreed, I’d be curious to see that as well. There’s good GIS data nationwide to document displacement of the big 4 (corn, cotton, wheat, soybeans), but I haven’t seen much to show displacement of high value crops.
