Wyoming's Gold [Solar/Turbine] Rush

What do you assume the size (in area) will be? I have a feeling you might be overshooting.
Both solar farms combined will be able to power 771,000 homes – three times the number of homes in Wyoming
Figure that's a good load of private land leased solar footprint. 1.2 million solar panels spread over 3500 acres.

I read that article last week. Interesting to see if this actually happens. I doubt it will, with the economic clouds on the horizon. All that energy to run "carbon neutral" data centers.

I can already hear the Washington Coasties blame their power outages on the wind not blowing in Montana.😁

Oh yeah, as a user of the electricity, I'm certainly going to complain. But it's using battery storage so maybe I won't have to. And the wind in Rapelje doesn't blow for only 4-6 days every year on average, so I feel like I need to have a back-up item to complain about.
Side note, Avista announced it will have rolling blackouts when we get wind and fire danger is high. That was going to happen irrespective of source.
 
Incoming to land near you!

An interesting thought, may a.) push wildlife onto public land and / or b.) onto private not (yet) onboard increased herds with the new sun/wind rush?
Meh - lope may learn to route in/around panels.



I'm planning on taking a trip up to Wyoming this spring to hunt turkeys on public land do you have any good recommendations?
