13 days agoThe land is only cheap when you pretend those externalized environmental costs do not exist. They still have to be paid, usually by the public at large. I think the saying goes; socialize the cost and privatize the gains.
Build over existing infrastructure. One example is current project to cover water canals with solar. Don’t need to acquire land, reduces evaporation saving water, reduces plant growth in canals lowering maintenance costs.
Or not properly maintained and at reduced capacity.
Amortization. How I justify a $600 ski pass. If I ski 30 days, it breaks down to just $20 a day. If I average 15 runs each ski day it’s just $1.33 a run. I also end up skiing more often because my pass is already paid for.
