On May 12 the Interior Department gave approval for the
largest solar power project in the U.S. to be built by Warren Buffett’s NV Energy company on 7100 acres of Federal lands in the Mohave Desert.
At a cost of one billion dollars, it pales into insignificance on the days we read of the trillions of dollars being spent battling the coronavirus economic destruction.
But a boondoggle by any other name remains a boondoggle.
The plan for this three-year project is very specific and quite ambitious and will never fulfill even close to its targets of 690 megawatts that are said will power 260,000 homes, provide 900 jobs, with a massive battery backup to replace the solar system at night, and emit no carbon dioxide.
