We'll also ignore the fact that that solar could have been used to offset actual needs instead of this BS.
If only Las Vegas were located somewhere that the sun shines almost all day every day. \s
I highly doubt the operating hours of this ball of decadence match the time when solar power peaks
And yet they still couldn't cover the last 30%.
That's probably at night
Regardless, that energy could be going to offset other energy currently being produced by non-renewables no matter which way you slice it.
If only the creators of the ball had enough profit coming in to put up more solar panels and build up a battery bank for the night so they wouldn't take anything from the grid...
Vegas exists because of the BS.
