Construction on the solar energy farm began in January, as more than 40 Delaware contractors worked to install 16,000 solar panels. The panels were manufactured in Delaware by Motech Americas, based in Glasgow. The project was managed by SunEdison. Delaware Electric is based in Greenwood.
“Once plans to build the solar farm were finalized, we decided to use products made in Delaware. Aside from the obvious environmental benefits, this project has provided a boost to the state’s economy,” said Bill Andrew, CEO of Delaware Electric Cooperative.

Colin O'mera is a useless piece of garbage. Director John Huges did a way better job. He needs to go back to left coast with the rest of his liberal buddies. There was no reason to get his two sense on the project. DNREC is a totally mismanaged agency just like the rest of govenor jackoff markel's cabinet.
ReplyDeleteJohn Hughes held the jobs open while two convicted pedophiles served their jail time in prison. Then, right after they came back to work, they both retired with full benefits. That's who John Hughes really is.

ReplyDeleteSo glad to see DE has their priorities in order-LOL. Our road was closed since last Oct and just got reopened last month but they found the time and money to do this?
Countless people were inconvenienced, money lost at area businesses and tons of money spent on the extra gas it cost to go around the detour. Farmers had to go 20 miles or more round trip extra on tractors to plant this spring.
I want monthly reports on how many KW/ SF are generated, and much this project costed per SF. Math will make this crap fail. I'm not against it, but we need to know what we are blowing public funds on.
ReplyDeleteAny bragging going on about how much the fabulous solar array at Salisbury Perdue is saving/ generating after having been in operation a couple of years?
ReplyDeleteAnswer: No
Reason: The report would destroy the solar agenda.
Prove that wrong, Perdue.
Solar is an ALTERNATIVE energy source not a MORE EFFICIENT or even a REPLACEMENT energy source. It's a great thing to spend other people's money on though.
ReplyDeleteOk so how much is it producing?
ReplyDelete7:56 - Perdue's makin' money on it or they wouldn't have done it....it'll never be in the black due to the write-off's and credits coming from the government funds (aka taxpayer dollars).
ReplyDelete@7:56, yup, this is a private company, they don't just throw money down the drain on a project that wouldn't make financial sense
ReplyDeleteAs for the tax right-off and credits for solar, I see no problem with that. Do you know how much tax revenue we lose from big oil? What they pay is laughable to say the least, attack that before you attack programs that fund a growing industry (and job market).
fools figure it out for yourselves. I looked into this and the cost is prohibitive even with the write offs. Might actually pay for itself in 20 years. but not if installed on your roof, you'll eventually have to rip it up to replace the roof, so what originally would have taken 20 years to see a return now takes 30 years, total bs but the left will never tell anyone that!
ReplyDeletePurdue and Hogneck were heavily subsidized on the construction, and purdue took the free money and postive perception in exchange for the press staying away from the image of killing chickens. The solar field likely produces such little real energy that is reliable, it is a joke. I too want to hear the wonderful results of the progress? You folks at SU who are so responsible for fairness, at least acknowledge that the children industry built the structures you have today.
ReplyDeleteThere is no intelligent life on the Eastern Shore.
ReplyDelete@9:46 If you live here your making fun of yourself, if you don't, then we don't really care what you have to say.

"at least acknowledge that the children industry built the structures you have today."
What are you talking about?
8:02-Please get your facts straight. Very little jobs created with this industry as compared to the oil and other energy source jobs.
ReplyDeleteThe incentives offered are because of the glut of solar panels and other alternative energy components and equipment we are burdened with all produced with government subsidies.
The industry is dead 8:02. Please take the time to educate yourself before commenting. For every one so called success story there are a hundred failures.
Another thing 8:02-

You need to educate yourself on how it works in the real world. All day long large private companies "throw money down the drain" on government pet projects. Simplified it's called tit for tat.
@10:46, Ill stick to what I know, not your drivel of an education. I know what the real world is like, you on the other hand sound like a parrot for fox news.
