        So are you/they saying that fossil fuel power plants don’t make as much noise? I would disagree with that.

        1: FF plants should also have inverters and transformers, I doubt they make electricity in exactly the way we want on the lines, just like solar.

        2: Ff plants have a fuck ton of machinery and people and fumes that are constantly being emitted in addition to the pretty minimal noise from transformers or whatever.

          On point 1, as far as I understand, generally since they use fossil fuels to hear water and generate steam to spin turbines, the generators output grid-compatible AC right away

            That’s certainly possible! I don’t know if it’s true or not, since my arguments there are entirely speculative on my end, without any real evidence backing them. I’m currently not able to do any real research to support my claims, so unless this gets more attention, I’ll just leave it at that, speculation
