Solar

In the article they state this project will create 700 “high paying” jobs. I hope that is correct, but most of the time, the numbers provided when these big projects are announced never live up to the hype. I also wonder how these “high paying” solar jobs will compare to the “high paying” oilfield jobs that have supported and built this area and State for many years?

electric/solar/wind is a toxic money grab that makes people feel good.

It’s basically playing pretend in the world of energy.

This project is just like the electric wind turbines in the west. Makes money to the select manufacturing corporations catering to the politicans.

I’m all for drilling. Also I’m happy with solar, nuclear,wind and biofuels. Just don’t make Exxon pay for the others delivery and technology development.

That’s including the building of the facility, will be nowhere close to 700 permanent jobs. They always like to dress up things like this.

I’d say it’s comical but our tax dollars are being wasted/embezzled by this farce.

Facts

I counted over 30 wind turbines while driving through a valley in central Pennsylvania heading towards Penn State earlier this summer. Only 2 were barely rotating.

Electric/Solar/Wind is window dressing. The real conversion from Fossil is Nuclear. Specifically, this....

Absolutely. Nothing comes close to the new nuclear designs as far as being green and being able to meet demands 24/7. This isn't the plants of old and some of the new designs can actually use the waste fuel from the older reactors.

Yesterday, the Chinese dropped the core module into the world’s first commercial small modular nuclear reactor.....

....…Once completed, the reactor will produce one billion kilowatt hours of electricity annually to power 526,000 households. In addition to providing carbon-free energy, the reactor will provide additional benefits such as urban heating and cooling, steam production, and seawater desalination. This is expected to fresh water in areas where conventional reactors are not feasible.
