    The cheapness of individual units and the continuing design is a factor, essential, but the most significant difference is that a couple of panels to charge phones, or a dozen to run a house, or a hundred for a village, can be put together piecemeal.

    And if one breaks, one breaks.

    Whereas a 2GWe fission generator is neither built incrementally nor fails gracefully.

    The numerous geocoding systems vary in #granularity (#precision) achieved with a certain amount of letters, & in their audience or #community.

    Above, I gave the example of #Maidenhead Locators (#QTH) commonly used by #HamRadio people.

    Different cultures use different #geocode|s for reasons.

    AFAIC, it would allianate communities to single out a particular system & mark it as ›general‹ by using a prefix like ›#GEO‹.

    Platforms should #welcome & represent a variety of cultures.
