| #7 I noted the article said there is a 61% chance of cloudy conditions at the best viewing site. If you can't see the eclipse, will it still impact the grid? |

| #6 Any chance to bag on Texas. Especially now they have to power all the newcomers. Ed, I hope the array self-animates and vows revenge for its creation, like some Steven King story or Legend of Zelda contraption. |

| #4 There's a solar farm not far from where I live. Has the active, tilting panels that follow the sun. I'm contemplating going past there during the eclipse to see if the mechanism gets confused. |

| #2 Hmmm, so photovoltaic generation resources produce no power when the sun is not shining. On my planet, we call that nighttime. |

| #1 Solar maximum could hit us harder and sooner than we thought. How dangerous will the sun's chaotic peak be? |
