They're going to buy a 30 million dollar solar array for DOE? That buys a
pretty dang big array. If there are 1000 people in that building, that's
$30,000 for each person that they get off the grid. Wow. Or are they moving
into the Pentagon or something? Man, some contractors are going to get rich
on that one! This will be good proof for the skeptics that solar is not
feasible.
