I just got a news letter from my electric company, Tampa Electric. They are going to be buying the full capacity of a 25-megawatt solar array that is being built in Polk County FL not far from here.
So, a new solar array to come on line in about 2011 and a new nuclear plant in the area to come on line I think around 2018.
The solar array is supposed to save Tampa Electric 1.45 million tons of Co2 over the 25 year contract. But, I'm not sure that means it will reduce what they create now. I assume this plant will give them extra capacity which is needed as new homes are build in and around the tampa bay area.
