If solar is such a successful source of energy why is the government subsidizing it? Sounds a lot like the coal shale power plant that was going to be built outside Karthaus, as soon as the money ran out the construction stopped! Funny how it’s a Delaware company that is getting this money as well. Wonder who owned the ground this is being built on?

It says former so this mine was no longer in operation. Glad jobs will be coming back for some
