    wut?

    It’s actually pretty high on the list of worst opions, Mexico City has an elevation over 2,000 meters, surrounded by mountains over 3,000 meters tall above sea level. Access to the sun doesn’t make this any more or less of a monumental task, it’s assumed if they had that kind of energy infrastructure then they would already be using it.
