Reality Check: Engineering

By design interconnected systems (grids) share faults and hazards.

Intense weather events present faults and hazards to electrical supply/distribution systems.

Clearing faults and hazards requires human and other limited resources.

Adding multiple intermittently active power sources to an already overstressed distribution system will create safety and fiscal nightmares for those responsible for maintaining/operating distribution systems.

This is yet another $500MM purchase of self-congratulations and window dressing that will not achieve it purported goal.
