I've read a few articles that these solar farms are creating their own microclimates, and particularly in already warm areas can have significant impacts to wildlife with the local temperature increasing in the range of 3-4 degrees C:

I have a few friends from high school who are in the trades, a carpenter, a plumber, and do very well for themselves. My friend who's a welder by far and above does the best out of all of them, and makes well over 100K. High paying blu

The one thing I've been hoping Stripe eventually rolls out is escrow; hopefully this is a step towards that?

With every election cycle, my CO has constantly reminded people that they cannot wear their uniform to political rallies, post on the internet without a disclaimer; the military is not political in any sense.
