On May 11, the Interior Department approved Gemini Solar, the largest solar power project in U.S. history.
Gemini Solar will sit on 7,100 acres of public land, the size of 5,369.
A boondoggle by any other name remains a boondoggle and, even though it takes NV Energy a step closer to complying with Nevada's nonsensical law that requires utility providers to get at least half the energy they produce from renewables, Gemini Solar is certainly a boondoggle.
The 900 new construction jobs that the Department of the Interior boasts will be created by Gemini Solar will quickly shrink to only 19 full-time workers required to operate the plant once it is completed in December 2023, according.
The film shows how active solar projects such as Gemini Solar are anything but green.
When one digests this simple rule, one wonders why the arguments over solar energy have gone on for so long without facing a stark reality: solar energy must never be an essential part of any energy portfolio.
In the final analysis, private and commercial customers will be burdened with considerable increases in their electric rates due to Gemini Solar.
