I'm all for hating on flock and the government but this is an extremely dumb comparison that doesn't actually make sense. Flock isn't the government and the amount of solar generation for their shit cameras is nothing compared to real grid demand

IIRC majority of cameras are paid for by governments and installed on public lands so the government bit is appropriate. Fun fact, HOA's are considered governments, although those cameras are on private property.

Yes. Flock cameras are not power generation infrastructure. A flock system uses what, 5 watts?
