Bob - "beyond FWA which is limited by physics and is energy inefficient, a net negative to climate mitigations" - why FWA should be energy inefficient and net negative to climate mitigation?

I know that I'm drifting this conversation off again, but I strongly disagree with this statement.

100%. Some of this group may be sick of seeing my solar builds in the matrix chat... we're running FWA radios that run 3-9W, less power than a typical cable modem or ONU. We're running sites with hundreds of customers burning up 100W on solar power. We've built 2 new sites this week running entirely on solar power. I don't know how much greener you get... We don't even run generators there, just add more solar so we can run the site on overcast production.
