Attacks on two DTEK solar farms last spring is a good example. They destroyed many solar panels and some of the transformers, which step up voltage for long distances or step it down for use in homes. Replacing the transformers and swapping out destroyed panels allowed the farms, which generate 400 megawatts, to be back up in seven days.

Timchenko said an attack on a thermal generating station, which experienced a similar amount of damage, took three to four months to rebuild.

    Energy independence is one of my favorite reasons for it. Getting actually invest and own my power generation vs being stuck in a subscription with a corporation who is subject to geopolitical movements on where, how and when they can buy their fuel.

    Crazy to see right winger, pepper types sometimes (not all of them) get sucked into being a liberal thing lol. Like is it a liberal thing to want to own my house or car too? What a weird thing to think
