Yup. Diesel is so expensive, I don't understand why they are making 2030 plans. Why not 2018 plans? Solar panels are now about 40c / installed watt or less. They will have trouble getting much below that with even Chinese panel manufacturers barely breaking even. Interest rates are still very low.

Just get everyone involved & roll that solar out. Not a biggie. The savings will be immediate over burning diesel to generate electricity.

All your ideas were spot on & good for using excess energy.

Heck they can even mine some bitcoin if they have extra energy.
