The trees grow on light colored dolomite limestone, the remains of an ancient sea.

You should also have a contact, like 20 years, and, as I said earlier, a must take provision. By definition, a properly designed FIT is wholesale energy. Your generation should be on the wholesale side of the meter, that way, like in the US with net-metering, the capacity of your facility isn&#39;t tied to the size of your load. With a properly designed FIT you are able to build your system as large as you want, greening the energy for everyone on the grid. 2025-02-02T07:48:37Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0u9qwnhyht4l8nm4ufhzux3a74285dmq6qcqsyjxnufgu3gl8tkqzyrtm53dk2hvlnqktpzmkt8536e8m3xhxz5xeadehjutc6drd7q55vxk2pnv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvg42wpyp84k5ju4wlkc0lk0tdq8c3qvn78cv75xnr8q529haghnqy0yjc5'>nevent1q…yjc5</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Hm, that&#39;s unfortunate. I&#39;ve not covered the energy space in years. If you indeed have an actual feed in tariff where you are, it should have been designed with a &#34;must take&#34; provision for the utility. In other words, they have to take all of the feed in tariff contracted renewables first &amp; at whatever the original contact price per kWh was. Are you actually on the wholesale side of the meter or are you doing something more like energy net-metering, which is what it sounds more like to me 2025-02-02T03:05:08Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgyd3jrdarmsaremvtr7cwyegw7s9lfg5vqq26g59ptqlcm4qe4dszyrtm53dk2hvlnqktpzmkt8536e8m3xhxz5xeadehjutc6drd7q55vy52aq3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2qwy7v6fwqqmq8rf28aa9yttfp469hdvdgugrlylgxz6dd23elhsaaa8hj'>nevent1q…a8hj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Nice! But I don&#39;t understand &#34;back to the grid.&#34; If you generated the energy, isn&#39;t it yours to &#34;send to the grid&#34;?<br/><br/>The utilities have us so manipulated that we use euphemisms like back to the grid. They don&#39;t want us to think we could be generators selling energy to them. Which is the only way we&#39;ll ever get to 100%+ renewable energies &amp; is why we&#39;ll never get there.

Because I&#39;ve been seeing people talk a lot about Signal again recently, I looked again. It appears, as it did the last time I looked, that you can&#39;t receive or send messages to users outside of Signal, is that correct? If so, what is a good alternative to Google&#39;s messenger? I&#39;m not too concerned about security, but am interested in using software developed &amp; maintained outside of the US. 2025-01-31T08:23:08Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs90ste7epj8qe2x4xw4f2ddxax8mxhpfaqx8pdzrxt8ufkt29nmwqzyrtm53dk2hvlnqktpzmkt8536e8m3xhxz5xeadehjutc6drd7q55v6fknsz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgt6tc4smfnymxhyfkaspwhrh5fltgu76yu2tr3tkkqml77hhvlcqgx5pp6'>nevent1q…5pp6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Nice!
