A measly 175 homes that will not be even directly powered, this wattage will simply get fed into the grid and become miniscule. A waste of land space and possibly freshwater if they all require a cooling or a steam process. This may be nice for some applications but I say it is better served putting those panels on rooftops.

Not knocking any company from moving to renewable energy, that should always be commended. I'm just looking one step past the green wash to the core business goal to find the real driver for a big move like this. Those prepping for skyrocketing energy prices when the easy to drill oil is gone will be the ones to live comfortably through our transition off oil. Are you prepping yet?
