Just about the time you start believing in Global Warming and all is going down the drink you run into an article I read in the Des Moines Register this morning.
DEVELOPERS PLAN SOLAR ENERGY PROJECT
A developer is hoping to build the largest solar field in Iowa just northeast of Fort Dodge. The Messenger reports that the Holiday Creek solar project would produce about 100 megawatts when completed. That's enough to power about 30,000 average homes.
The company, EDF Renewable Energy, hopes is sign a 37 year lease for 1,000 to 1,200 acres of land east of the Fort Dodge Airport. The company said a lot is to be done including studies on the impact of the solar panels on the soil.
It seems we are reading more and more of projects under way or being studied about renewable energy. For me I am an optimist. We will get there and we will make our planet better
