That explains why your not getting it despite multiple people trying different angles.
Have you looked at the numbers on the cost both in dollars but environmentally to replace fossil fuels, right now the only thing worth a serious effort is nuclear. There is a whole lot more areas than LA or NY with no concentration of pollution, except that thousands of acres of windmills and thousands of acres of solar farms that haven't made a dent.
I found out the other day a couple miles from my house we get a sweet 600 acre solar farm, how awesome it must be for someone in LA to get power from a spot in Mt that is going to be covered in solar panels! Wonder why they don't cover their own land in solar panels and wind farms??
Not that I'm anti solar or wind cause Ill be of the grid soon, micro solar and wind make sense but on a grid level it's ignorant!!
