Re:Tree planting: Where can I do it and which type is best? by armenarmen on Wednesday July 31, 2019 @01:30PM (#20576397)
Could you share your math somewhere? I’m genuinely interested, and did your calculations take into account lowered cooling costs caused by tree shaded buildings?

Here's a link to the discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20543605 -- on mobile so I can't figure out how to get the comment URL. If you're interested, just go there and search for my username -- onlyrealcuzzo. I'd love a second set of eyes on it. Not sure the math is right.
