After all the
protesters, police, and press,
representatives of
VLCIA,
Sterling Planet,
Hannah Solar,
Georgia Power,
and the
City of Valdosta
did finally break ground for
the Wiregrass Solar power plant.
I asked Col. Ricketts for a shovel, but he just snorted.
Here’s the
groundbreaking video:
Valdosta, Lowndes County, Georgia.
Video by John S. Quarterman for LAKE, the Lowndes Area Knowledge Exchange.
Col. Rickets also handed out water to prrotesters and small children.
He even gave me some water.
Here is more about the Wiregrass Solar plant.
