She's on the road b/c they're spread out, they are where they are. She's maintaining them b/c it's her job. They aren't broken down, they're getting preventative maintenance like any power plant.
How many of you work on construction and actually understand any of this? Do you understand that fossil fuel plants have large onsite maintenance crews that are there 24/7 365 for the entire lifetime of the plant? It that in addition to those in house maintenance crews, 3rd party contractors are hired on for extremely large contracts to do the heavy lifting?
Not to mention the incredibly bureaucratic security crews associated with such sites? Even if you've worked there 30 years they inspect the bottom of your car with a motor in a stick each and every time you come/go. These things largely don't exist for wind/solar.
What problem do conservation old men have against democratically distributed solar production that gives $, independence and power to the people? Y'all are wild.
