You know, this is another ā€˜goldenā€™ opportunity for liberals.

They could buy the thing, and show people the superiority of solar power by lowering the electricity prices.

After all, solar is dirt cheap, correct?

This isnā€™t competitive with photovoltaics or wind.

However, at least it worked for a decade.

Better than two AP1000s that started construction at the same time:

Itā€™s a solar plant, and according to you, solar and wind never fails right?

So why arenā€™t you looking to buy this thing (should be available for pennies on the dollar), then go run it for awhile make yourself some real money?

All of that land being used for something so ugly and useless.

My question is how will all those solar panels be disposed of?

From the article:

ā€œNRG said in a statement that the project was successful, but unable to compete ā€œ

The actual answer is simpleā€¦do not allow any products produced anywhere in the world that does not meet our pollution requirementsā€¦to be sold/used here in the US. Now ask yourself, why didnā€™t our federal government apply this standard in the very beginning?

Remember ā€œAir America ā€œ?

I remember it well.

Off to the land fill with the rest of the renewable junk like windmills and solar panels.

BUt they did kill a lot of birds. And wasted the taxes from people like Roofers and Food service workers. Taxes are hours worked for most people.

Remember Solyndra?
