:(why does TBN allow it to run?
"They" likely do not 'allow it' - read the user agreement(s) to be certain.

However, it is quite a task to monitor thousands of posts, read each to determine if the post is on or off or in some tangential way related to the OP's request, question or assertion.

Indeed, yours (and this replay) would not conform to such strict rule as you imply.

Thank you for this data. Evidence to my wife that cats are not pets, they are cold blooded killers and destroyers of the planet lol (Dog person here by the way)
I've lived with cats for 62 years. Any that I've owned as an adult have all been indoor cats. The reason (I've mentioned this before several times) is that when I was a kid, my mom had a cat that was a killing machine. Mice, rats, chipmunks, squirrels (flying squirrels, too), rabbits, opossums, birds, birds, birds. We had a cat door so it could go in and out. Middle of the night you'd hear a weird meow and you just knew she'd be sitting on your bed with some dead gift to feed you (her kitten). It was an almost daily occurrence to find beheaded chipmunks on the porch and a pile of barf. I know for a fact that cat killed at least 300 animals per year, and lived for 21 years. So even with days off, she was responsible for well over 5000 animals. She may be the exception, but man, she was death on 4 legs.

I have solar panels installed on my home and I have no electric bill, plus I get a money back for supplying the electric grid with my excess production.
I understand it’s not the same as a solar farm but we have to start somewhere to get off oil.

I didnt pay anywhere near what it cost to have a solar company do it.
But to each their own

I have bought panels as low as 25.00 each a converter depending on its size cost about a grand
Those are the 2 major items that you need to get started.
our Arizona electric companies are willing to help you get started with the planning and paperwork that needs to be filed
I know that I have about 5 grand invested in my system that saves my money all year long

Some people have got together in one of our communities and are planning on installing a huge multi-acre solar farm on property adjacent to my daughter's and sister-in-law's property. They will be surrounded to the north and south of their properties and across the road. Their property value will go to nearly nothing.

Has anybody fought the installation of one of these?

Any ideas?

They bought a large track of farm land 5 miles south of me for a large scale windmill complex. The more I read the less I like windfarms. At least it's out in the sticks but noise carries at night. Hope it's quiet.

Uh-oh... fact check. 😬

Mostly meaningless unless you can qualify the bird species killed by each, yes I’m sure thousands of sparrows are killed by cats and crashing into building, but large raptors (eagles, vulture, owls) get killed by turbines not cats. Additionally, beyond being an incredible eye sore, turbines have a limited lifespan and are not recyclable, also just like solar have a pathetic potential to meet out power needs. Build nuke plants, put the powerlines underground, and quit funding China’s campaign to subjugate the West.

What are the new battery and mineral standards?​

Currently, you can claim $3,750 of the $7,500 EV tax credit if at least half of the value of your vehicle's battery components are manufactured or assembled in North America and the other $3,750 if at least 40% of critical minerals -- like graphite, lithium and cobalt -- are sourced from the US or a trade partner. Both requirements increase in the coming years.

Here you need permits, inspections, Electric company involvement etc.
Grid Tie isolation etc.
Not awful, but some hoops.
Yes you do!
I was trying to test with some ebay portable converters and homemade panels and it worked quite well
my electric company made a mistake in reading my meter and charged me 2000.00 dollars for my monthly bill
I called the company and we figured it out that it was a error
at the end of the conversation my wife blurted out that we have solar and the bill shouldn't be that high and that sent me on my journey into legal sorlar because they said disconnect it right now!
They connected me with their solar division and helped me get started the right way with permits and inspections and sight plans.
The only expense was paying for permits
I also found out that I knew more about installing solar than the city did.
I installed a solar tracking system that tracks the sun to maximize the exposer.
All I am trying to say is that it does not have to cost a fortune to have solar and you dont have to worry about trying to sell a contract if you sell your house.

. . . Build nuke plants, put the powerlines underground . . .

Large nuclear plants are not cheap to build or operate and their is no long term solution to high level radwaste storage. In the U.S., spent nuclear fuel is typically stored on site. France and some other countries reprocess their spent fuel, which has its own risks and costs, but it doesn’t just kick the can down the road.

Placing distribution lines (high voltage) and transmission lines (very high voltage) underground is theoretically possible, but unlikely to ever be anything but prohibitably expensive. High voltage requires substantial separation between phases and neutral, meaning extremely large tunnels would be required to contain them.

Simular studies.

Wind turbines and solar panels help reduce global warming and are beneficial to all animals including polar bears.

There was a county administration that banned solar farms from the entire county in the news a couple of weeks ago. Seems like it was in Kentucky or Tennessee. I agree it's a pity when good arable land is dedicated to non-farm uses. However, the reasons usually given to oppose solar projects strike me as flimsy at best. The real enemy is corporate farming and its effects on small farms. These solar projects can allow many aging farmers to keep their land instead of selling it to developers who convert it to housing tracts and warehouse distribution centers and such. The opposition to solar farms here was full of predictions of declining land values and roadside eyesores, but neither has happened. 10 years later, no one even thinks much about it. Actually, the power companies still don't like it, and for obvious reasons.

Friend of mine in New York had a wind farm put up some wind powered towers. Even though he is really far from them he can see the windmills so the power company pays him so much a month because it takes away from his nature view. It has been a long time since I talked to him so I can't tell you how much or any other details.

The math is pretty easy, even with the increased lifespan of these panels now days, without government subsidies no one would try to mass produce electricity with solar. Highly inefficient, pretty high cost to get into, can be high monthly maint (cleaning dust/snow/ice/bird crap). Can you make pennies? Yes. Can you make dollars? Probably not.
Your "knowledge" is a bit out of date.
