Tell me about it.
Every time I go over the Dunbarton bridge lately I see the solar panels that KGO (the only financially successful liberal talk station, as far as I can tell) put in at the base of their antenna farm.
What the HECK are they powering with that, in their max-power transmitter blockhouse, right UNDER one of the high-tension lines feeding the bay area? It's sure not heat. B-) The blinky lights on the towers? The half-dozen bulbs in the blockhouse that are only on when an engineer is there? The vent fans? The darned panels are probably generating more power by rectifying the near field of their signal than they collect from the sun.
These days price is a very good signal of sites where it's ecologically sound to install alternative energy systems. Twenty feed downwind of the San Francisco Bay salt evaporators is NOT one of them. [ Parent ]
