Renewables work best if different sources are connected over a wide area. That smooths out supply and minimizes storage and backup needs.

It seems both massive and spread out. And if there are cattle crazing then some farmers must live near by (i am guessing here.. )
So there must be tens of residents who leave literally next door to some very very massive turbines.

p.s. i am all for wind and solar and stuff… just trying to understand

Maybe we can send up some of California’s generated solar power as a thank you gift.
