  • First Ever Solar City Planned for Sunshine State [View article]
    This sounds great! I give it less than 5 year life expectancy. The next hurricane will easily destroy this and leave it in disrepair for at least a few months. The claims that it is "entirely powered by the sun" are of course greenwashing. They will have to connect to the grid and draw on coal, gas, or nuclear power at night. Of course, since coal and natural gas are essentially just stored solar energy, maybe they are telling the truth. Combined with the considerable remaining downward potential of real estate values in Florida, this could be a spectacular failure! Anyone selling derivatives on this thing?
