Why would you build that solar power plant there when you can build them on the grid itself?

The investment sell I've been seeing lately is to burn stranded natural gas (that would otherwise be flared) in generators that would power a crypto mine. That also gives you 24/7 runtimes without needing energy storage systems.

My point isn't that they will be built in the desert but my point is that if they can be built there then they can be built many other places where it's not profitable now.
