Solar Farm #2, dangers involved.

The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step...

When automobiles first came to be, replacing horses and buggies was not envisioned. That vision would have been unimaginable at the time.

So maybe you create the next wave of energy jobs. Since August of 2022, 46 new clean energy manufacturing facilities have been announced. These are US clean energy jobs.
The manufacture and sales of EV's has skyrocketed. These are US clean energy jobs.
True advances in the development of Small Modular Reactors (nuclear) have been made, with deployment ahead. These will be US clean energy jobs.
The viability and use of EV batteries as an EV-to-home and EV-to grid is just starting.

The American Lung Assn. report I posted a link to said that in 27 years tens of thousands of people will die if things stay the same as they are today.
If you have ever seen an asthma sufferer come close, you know what it costs a person.
I will probably not be around by then but if the journey can be started now, any lives saved would not be wasted effort.

Someone once said: "what you do for the least of these, you do for me".

Meanwhile, through all your platitudes, those exploited African kids are mining precious metals for batteries and China, which uses the Uyghurs as slave labor.

If you are into that, well, all I can say is bless your heart, but I aint driving no car with a battery built with slave labor or exploited child labor. That’s so messed up.

And yeah, I know I already have chinese stuff built with slave labor, so save your breath reminding me, but we all need phones & computers.

Are they using existing power lines or did they build new ones to provide services?

Existing transmission lines.

New substation to step up voltage to 138KV. Line steps up to 345KV about 8 miles away

I see the argument has changed, stepped down from the high horse a bit… easier to take seriously.

And I am aware a diesel tractor is a large contributor.

Tree pollen causes breathing problems for many people. I guess we should cut down all trees.

No, not really.
It’s an old expression “sophie’s choice”.
Means either a cell phone or computer built under questionable humanitarian conditions or nothing at all.

No high horse, mr. judgemental

And people collapse & die playing sports.
All sports should be banned.

That's good news.

In my area, new lines are being proposed. Big ones. Sort of screwing property owners adjacent to proposed facilities. State has last say on them.

You can buy cell phones not made in China. Same with computers. Same with solar components and panels.

It's practically impossible.

Yeah, sure. They sell them everywhere. You’re right.
