Has there been any analysis with regards to "renewables full cycle costing"? I.E. - ridding the site of damaged infrastructure? Or land reclamation? Or wildlife damages? Is there off-gassing? What are the costs of bringing product to site? After all - these types of projects are heavily subsidized with tax payer funding or interesting accounting mechanics such as off-sets/swaps, etc.
People are talking about dead systems with no money for reclamation. I’m afraid that’s going to be the future. Developers aren’t required to post reclamation bonds
Wow, I had no idea. Some of the stories you cite go back a few years too.
Love the dive into origins of words too.
To further confuse things, Spanish speakers also call the weather, "el clima" too.
And there's no distinction between "speed" and "velocity" - one of course being a scalar and the other a vector.
P.S. When politicians overly promote something, it's an IQ test on whether to trust them https://timesofsandiego.com/opinion/2022/12/05/opinion-rooftop-solar-made-california-a-climate-leader-we-cant-throw-this-away/
In Italian time/weather is Il tempo, and a storm is Il temporale- so the same as the other Latin based “lingue”.
The weather/time distinction in English comes from German- Das Wetter/Die Zeit.

Those studies would be too inconvenient to fund...
