I'm used to "world's largest" and "New England's largest" and, of course "Maine's largest" wishful thinking about so called "renewable" energy, particularly solar and wind.
Of course, there is NOT ONE example of a subset of people on this website - sock puppets and originals - who has even the remotest concept of
scale, because if, in the same breaths that they are announcing how "solar will save us" or "wind will save us," all the while engaging in dangerous fossil fuel apologetics, who has a sense of scale.
Pepsi's solar system should generate about 10 million kilowatt hours of energy over its expected lifetime of 35 years, according to Advanced Energy Systems. That's enough electricity to power about 21 Lane County homes over the same 35 years, estimates the Eugene Water & Electric Board.
If solar electricity were a
serious matter, one would not be able to make the newspaper with a big spread about powering 21 homes. This is like the time a bunch of assholes with poor educations ran around here telling everyone who would listen - 200,000 times - about the great Utsira wind powered hydrogen scheme in Norway that powered
ten homes.
As it happens, the funding is running out on the Utsira wind/hydrogen project and just as I predicted years ago, it was all talk and no action, all hat and no cowboy.
