Jajaja!

Not enough grapes

I want it to hurt them. I want it to fail. But I fear they're doing this now because they've run the numbers and are pretty sure the vocal minority that will leave permanently won't be noticed in a month.

I don't understand how the links are even related. All I missing something?

Is it a reservoir? If it's a man-made reservoir you are not expecting or desiring it to become a natural ecosystem. Your primary goals are to keep the water there and keep it clean.

But it's not meant to be a natural ecosystem where you're trying to protect it.

I'm being a lot more active here than I was on Reddit. Trying to make sure it feels like a dynamic space for new redfugees :)

This might be an issue with the image host. When I initially clicked the link to the picture I got a browser error that the page couldn't be loaded. I tried a second time and it worked.

Edit to add: it also didn't show up in the comment body initially, but it is working now.

But as I mentioned above I don't think there should be much of an environmental impact. Man-made reservoirs are not usually aquatic ecosystems, so it shouldn't be a factor. Unfortunately, I haven't really found any info to back that statement up.

They do mention that the water helps cool the solar panels. There's a math problem here... Solar energy converted by water directly vs with solar panels, etc etc.

Yeah I was totally thinking of the Vertitasium video!

It's built on a reservoir so I assume that means waves aren't an issue. I was glad to see it was a reservoir and not a natural lake or ocean. It means there shouldn't be any (?) environmental impact.

I also wonder if it is beneficial for reducing evaporation.

There's a bit more detailed info in the press release from last year about the start of the project. It's on the website linked in the article.
