There’s something magical about solar power which makes people think “it’s only 12 thousand acres of solar panels, sounds easy!” You could probably fit them all in an area the size of Manitoba’s second-largest city, no problem. Let’s go ahead and start building a city-sized grid of access roads out in the woods to be completely levelled and filled with high-tech electronics, batteries, inverters, transmission lines, switching stations, and more solar panels than currently exist in Canada — how hard can it be?
I dunno, it’s not impossible. It’s just… there might be better ways to solve the problem.

Is there something magical about lemmy that makes you think I’m actually suggesting MB install 12K acres of solar panels?
No, and I didn’t really mean to pick on you specifically — it just seems that way in general.
