Solar Farm #2, dangers involved.

Has anyone read about the solar farm in California that is sucking so much water out of the aquifers the people are having to drill deeper to get water. I never knew they used water till that article. One mobile home park is in danger of losing water completely.

Wrath, too.So is Sloth / Dejection
Like anything in life, anything to the extreme is probably not healthy for you.
I don't stripe my lawn, nor do I weedwhack every week like I should and my company truck and home office desk can look like a pig sty after a period of time because I'm the only one who uses them
When the rains cooperate, I like to stripe my lawn. Now that it's pretty much dead for the season, I just knock the weed heads off once a week or so. We do keep the flowers watered.
I am no nuclear expert but from what I have read (yeah, an internet nuclear expert) the Chernobyl plant was of a design that would not have been built in the U.S., was run in a haphazard way, and was manned by half trained people. Some of the modern designs would be much safer, more efficient, and with multiple backup systems they would be disaster proof.

That depends on the type of solar.
If it's photovoltaic panels, I doubt it.
If it's a parabolic concentrator, then it's entirely possible.
It would be nice to have a link to the article, if possible.
