Why the machines not go above dark clouds to absorb solar energy

The machines oppressed themselves with their obsession over the humans. The lower level machines in charge of the humans interfered with the ones in control of hardware in the machine city since they realized if they matrix was gone so were they.

In the third movie when Neo and Trinity's ship goes through the cloud layer it fries all their electronics and crashes it. So presumable the cloud is designed to prevent machines from passing through it to do just that. Given that the original plot before rewrites was that the machines were farming humans to cultivate our brains as a neural network instead of that stupid idea of us being a power source, maybe they wanted a biological computing platform they could store themselves on and rocket into space.

Renaissance don't make sense. Human's needs the sun for their biosphere Machines don't. Nuclear power is a thing. Also note there have been 6 Zion iterations who can say the Archives were not tampered by Machines to make it all Humanity's fault?

Also Humans as batteries is stupid as they won't provide the energy needed by Machines. The original concept of biological CPU's makes more sense.

Yes the Machines lie.

The Humans and their plan to destroy the machines was stupid. Also the nukes having no effect despite their EMP was also stupid. The only good thing we got out of it was the battle but that's if you turn off your brain.

I like the fan theory that the wetware CPU is whats really happening, the human battery thing is just the excuse the machines gave the Zion simulation, since we know Zion is just another part of the matrix.

The Machines left the Earth. Feeling sorry for the humans, their parents. They set up the Matrix, A simulation of humans, As a memorial. The "real world" is another layer of the Matrix. So that the human software that sees through the simulation, has some place to go. It, along with the war against the machines, serves as a quarantine for corrupt software.

"the one" code acts as a marker for software corruption. everyone that goes to zion has it. when the true The One appears in the simulation. It is cue for the quarantine zone to be purged, and the simulation to be reset.

A better memorial probably would have been not destroying the planet and wiping out their parents for literally nothing since they were leaving the Earth anyway.
