HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) -- A private company says it plans to build Maryland's largest solar energy project on state land surrounding a state prison near Hagerstown.
Easton-based Maryland Solar LLC said Friday it expects to start construction of the $70 million project later this year near the medium-security Maryland Correctional Institution.
It would begin generating up to 20 megawatts of electricity in 2012, pending approval by the state Public Service Commission and Washington County.
The project would help meet the requirements of a state law mandating that 20 percent of Maryland's electricity be generated from renewable energy sources such as wind and solar by 2022.
Constellation Energy Group plans to begin operating a 17-megawatt solar farm at Mount St. Mary's University in 2012.

Save this post.
I am willing to bet that this fiasco will go way over budget and never generate the amount of electricity claimed.
When will these Dumbocrat environazis get it?
