Major solar farm up in flames.

Sounds like it was installed cheaply. It should have had weed barriers buried with 4” of rock. Here we have had HUGE solar fields destroyed by hail - go figure?! Paid for with tax subsidies and insurance. Either way we all paid the cost. Probably an environmental disaster now.

A new solar farm just built in the next county. The weeds are already blocking the lower edge of the panels. They plan on having goats run loose to eat the weeds. The place is huge. They would need 100s of goats. I doubt this place will last 20 yrs.

The goats will be up on top of them destroying them in no time. Eating the wiring, breaking the panels, ...
 
California is in the process of shutting down a huge, $2.2 Billion dollar (yes,
taxpayer money) solar farm in Ivanpah.

 
Sure, these wonderful green projects were a scam against taxpayers and rate payers along with being an environmental nightmare but look at the plus side. These projects allowed a lot of politicians to retire as millionaires.
 
Yes, the green energy scam is exactly why we need more Deep Water Horizons.

Our fire was started in the storage batteries. Some solar farms use them some dont. The fire depts flooded the batteries for days until it was under control. Shallow soil, the water was coming out a crack in the rock 500 yards away . They tried beef cows nit sure why that didn't work. Told my wife pointing to the fleet of zero turns .." look honey their mowing the electric plant with gas mowers" .
