Attention, pundits: We have the makings of a serious U.S. solar [swindle] | Grist
Start with an announcement a few weeks ago that should have gotten more press. The military has contracted with SolarCity for a five-year, $1 billion project called SolarStrong to put solar panels on the roofs of 160,000 housing complexes on 124 military bases in 33 states. It would be the single largest residential rooftop solar program in history and, in a stroke, double the amount of installed rooftop solar in the U.S. In the process, the company estimates it would create 6,000 jobs over the next five years, many of which would go to military veterans and their family members, who are experiencing some of the nation's highest unemployment rates.
