Those are fair points but why not use that land to expand cities and homes, especially with the population continuing to grow we will need places to house people and using the land to build only solar farms will eventually have to be either moved when things expand or have to be skipped over and move communities further from natural resources where most cities are built close by already. I don't think solar will be the 1 technology every region should use to solve the power problem but for sunny desert areas like Nevada, Arizona, Texas etc solar is good. Northern states could other technologies for power generation not just focusing on solar in the end.

 

But why don't we just build them in cities and parking lots especially since they want them within 10 miles of communities? I understand cost but this makes sense to just put them into cities and use the unused land to expand or use for farms and other things vs wasting land to build only solar farms.

Tile is also another option but not sure how their policies are but relatively cheaper option and uses other people apps like airtag depending on location of course using Bluetooth.

Yeah and they have to take them every other month VS making any decisions so they don't lose them cuz how terrible would it be to make a decision that could possibly support any of the people who voted them into office.

With how many times they go on vacation a year, I'm lucky if I get to take a week off let alone months our of the year.

Still rocking my Oneplus 7Pro but thinking I might want to upgrade to the new Google Pixel 8 when it comes out. I like stock Android and Google phones have been pretty nice from what I've seen and from the little amount of time I've used and played with them in stores. I like the ability to install a privacy focused rom like GrapheneOS too. But the only thing now holding me back from deciding on the Pixel 8 is the temperature reader like that's something I know I won't be using and I don't want to be paying for that when I know I won't be using that feature.
