Florida To Build Solar-Powered City 195
Mike writes "The sunny state of Florida just announced that they will begin construction this year on the world's first solar-powered city. A collaboration between Florida Power & Light and development firm Kitson & Partners, the 17,000 acre city will generate all of its electrical needs via a 75 megawatt, $300 million solar-powered generator. The city will also use smart grid technology to manage its power and allow all inhabitants of the community to monitor their energy consumption."

It would have the added advantage that one 'incident' at the generator site would nut shut down the whole city.
That's disgusting. I hope that the power generator employees won't be doing that on company time.

The problem with hurricane belt of the USA is that it seems lots of the houses were built by the first two little pigs.

According to the mod history, it was modded Troll then Funny, but Troll has a higher precedence.
