@greenpeace I just realized that large solar and windparks are also by nature less likely to result in a total breakdown in case of a disaster or attack just because they are so widespread instead of a single point of failure like a powerplant

@greenpeace and meanwhile idiotic #nz government is taxing everyone, opps sorry my bad its a levy not a tax, to build an LNG terminal to "secure the power grid" while power companies are creaming profits.

There are many unexpected positive effects, perhaps the most dramatic is reversal of desertification in solar farms..
