Why is lease financing strange here?
I'm not surprised by any of it. I live in a pocket of New Jersey that has a group fighting against offshore wind farms funded mostly by Real Estate agents and existing energy interests claiming that adding supply from a new source of power is going to increase the market rate of electric power. It's exhausting to listen to and read about their bullshiting.
Dealerships are also concerned about the direct to consumer model that has shown to be viable and the inevitable tide of Chinese manufacturers taking over the market.
The study shows that this strategy is only half effective.
I don't think their research is in conflict with your perception here.
"The study found that just having a first-class section on an airplane quadrupled the chance of an air rage incident and that loading economy passengers through first class doubles that again."
The whole experience is shit and having a first class section makes it even worse psychologically.
What type of business?
I want to thank you for your reply. Hearing about someone like you and your attempt to improve your community and the world I the ways you can is so uplifting!
People are social (even the introverts) and the return on in person, deep social interaction is another reason it's important to fight the allure of convenience of online media being ones primary and most influencial social interaction. I love that you're doing it!
"The solar power producers during the day, and fossil legacy plants in the night."
Thus is precisely the bottle neck I was referring to.

The theoretical explanation:
In essence, the heat that would be absorbed by the building (requiring more energy for cooling the interior) is instead absorbed by the panels and conducted to the surrounding air which creates a convective heat exchange cycle on a city wide scale. It would be interesting if this were compared to awnings (and pegodas) that have been in use for centuries for passive cooling of space in and around buildings.
Further, It seems like this would call for the use of phase changing material to absorb the heat from the back of the solar panels which would reduce this intensification of the urban heat island effect as the heat energy would be use in the phase change process during the day and slowly released in the reverse phase change at night without conducting more heat into the building.
None of this seems to have any real consequence on the global warming effects of greenhouse gasses (primarily natural gas [methane] and Carbon Dioxide). But it is a more accute concern that is more likely to be addressed through local ordinances, laws, and regulations.
