Bah. Private company.  Yeah, everyone knows private companies are evil. You're a glass half-empty kinda guy, aren't ya? The reason I'm sad the company is private, is because I can't INVEST IN THE COMPANY AND PROFIT. Oh. Are those crickets I hear now?

It isn't as if you've never expressed anti-capitalist ideas before now is it?
“Government has three primary functions. It should provide for military defense of the nation. It should enforce contracts between individuals. It should protect citizens from crimes against themselves or their property. When government-- in pursuit of good intentions tries to rearrange the economy, legislate morality, or help special interests, the cost comes in inefficiency, lack of motivation, and loss of freedom. Government should be a referee, not an active player.” - Milton Friedman

That throws off a lot of people.

... in some countries these also could start to replace hydroelectric dams over time. Why? with temperatures rising worldwide, glaciers are melting faster and faster and they feed the rivers on which those hydroelectric dams rely. the effects of global warming in Latin America are now being factored in specially in Brazil which relied until recently mostly in power generated by hydroelectric dams, wind and solar power share is rising faster than ever before in Brazil.

More water feeding the rivers feeding the hydro plants would make the plants able to generate more power, if anything. If the additional water is more than they need or can use, that can be bypassed. I'm not seeing a reason there, to shut down hydro plants. More wind and solar is fine, if they make sense for the given circumstances. Diversifying sources of power for the grid is a good thing to do. Hydroelectric power is the original form of "green" electrical generation. Hydro was green long before being green was cool.

Kind lf curious what kind of maintenence needed to keep those panels clear to be absorbing at good efficiency. Not sure if there would be a lot of sand accumulations in that region or not.
