Why might Paul Joskow favour solar generation over wind generation? a. Solar panels do not obstruct views, as they are generally positioned close to the ground. b. Solar power is more likely than wind to be available during times of peak demand. c. Solar is better suited than wind in distributing generation because installations can easily be affixed on rooftops in both residential and commercial areas. d. Wind is more dependent than solar on geographical location and the majority of favourable areas are already in use. .
