Our mission is to accelerate human potential through the symbiosis of AGI, neural prosthetics, robotics, clean energy, resilience solutions, and fundamental scientific research.
Choosing a few solar panels on the roof seems a bit stupid, though. Last time I checked, there was a lot of wind available at the shore and on the ocean. Even at night.
Fewer moving parts means it's a little easier to maintain a panel array than a turbine. If they need someone to go up there with a feather duster once in a while, that's easier to find than a turbine/rotor specialist.
But in turn they generate less power, meaning they maybe have to pay extra for power. And run a cable to the platform. And they're talking about batteries, meaning they'd need to maintain that instead and that also requires experts. So yeah, idk. I'd say it's likely much more expensive that way, and they'd better train some engineers to maintain wind turbines. Those are build to last like 30 years. And wind power is supposedly cheaper anyways, with maintenance included in the calculation.
