- Comment on In the California desert, residents are struggling with the influx of massive solar projects 5 weeks ago:
Thank you for a reading the article and responding with substance from it that considers what it instead of being dismissive. These projects are far from perfect.

As a moderator of this community I need to remind you that non-constructive personal criticisms like this are in appropriate and go against the ethics and guidelines of this instance, let alone Lemmy. Honestly.

Thanks for clarifying that. That publication can be prone to clickbait style headlines it seems but they also publish some good information overall and I thought it was worth noting

- Comment on Your future air conditioner might act like a battery 3 months ago:
While it uses water for cooling, it says nothing about adding moisture to the air. It does mention removing moisture from the air, though
Blue Frontier’s cooling units pass a stream of air over a thin layer of the desiccant, which pulls moisture out of the air. That dry air is then used in an evaporative cooling process (similar to the way sweat cools your skin).

Thank you. This has been addressed by previous commenters.

Thanks for catching that. Unfortunately seems fairly common with a lot of these projects for “new” technologies ,sometimes due to funding.

“attracting” companies like Intel that are on the BDS boycott list is not really a good look for Linux.
- Comment on Does New York's 'rooftop solar gap' leave low-income residents behind? 7 months ago:
It’s a bit more complex than that.
Per the report, New York homeowners with an annual income of more than $50,000 are 2.5 times more likely to have rooftop solar than those making below $50,000, as those making below $50,000 often don’t pay enough income tax to fully claim the credit. Households making less than $50,000 annually make up 24% of owner-occupied houses in New York, but have only received 5% of residential tax credit subsidies.
You are correct under ideal conditions in that
The report also found that refundable tax credits could help shorten the gap. Refundable tax credits could help up to 63% of New York’s 1.4 million “energy-burdened” households and could cut the cost of solar for the average low-income household by 48%, from $98 to $51 per month.
Unfortunately, however
Around 25% of all New York homeowners make less than $50,000 a year, the report said, but they only installed 10% of solar projects between 2010 and 2022. However, solar installation rates do not increase as homeowner income does – households making $50,000 to $100,000 have the same installation rates as households making more than $200,000.

- Comment on Solar-Powered Farming Is Quickly Depleting the World's Groundwater Supply 8 months ago:
I don’t think it’s just you. It does seem a bit pessimistic / fatalistic at first glance, especially the headline, but it’s clearly a more complicated issue once you read through. You’re right, the issue isn’t solar energy but more about being careful about how it’s put to use and the impact thereof. If anything it shows the dangers of expecting capitalism to save us and issues we run into if we try to take the easy way out. We know the issue exists now so it’s more a question of what next.
