Massive Spotsylvania solar plant is online

1. What a disgusting waste of land.

The Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant has been producing about 2,260 Watts of continuous power, 24/7, all day in California, in a physical plant that is 12 acres in size on a dedicated plot of land, mostly undisturbed marine chaparral in its wild state, that is 700 acres.

This 3,500 acres, by contrast, will never, except for maybe 25 minutes on a clear sunny day, produce 500 watts of electricity, and will be useless at night, making Virginia dependent on access to dangerous natural gas.

In less than 25 years, all 1.5 million solar cells will be transformed into intractable electronic waste, the responsibility of an innocent generation who will suffer for this stupidity, to haul away and dump.

History will not forgive us, nor should it.
