A ribbon cutting for 30+ MW of solar power in Social Circle, Georgia,\r\nwith no media coverage,\r\n<\/a>\r\n\r\nother than a Georgia Power docket update buried at GA PSC.\r\nClaudia Musleve Collier says she made this first quote from email to her,\r\nand wants it shared.\r\n

\r\n\r\nBryan Casey, with Greenavations Power sent me these photos of the\r\nrecent [13 May 2014] ribbon cutting of their 38 MW solar project in middle\r\nGeorgia[, Simon Solar in Social Circle].\r\nPSC “Bubba” McDonald was present to flip the switch!\r\n<\/p>\r\n

The GA Power Advanced Solar Initiative (ASI) is\r\nSimon Solar (25X)! $1.7B in Georgia Economic Development, 50,000\r\ntons of steel, 3M Solar Panels, 25,000 jobs++. Solar charging the GA\r\nEconomy. These conservative clean energy initiatives have taken\r\nGeorgia from 38th in the Country to #5 in solar energy development\r\nin the US.”\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\n“Clean, reliable, cost effective, peak demand energy for $8 cents\r\nper kWh for the next 50+ years (“ALL IN”)! No negative\r\nhealth or environmental externalities! No fuel cost ever! No State\r\nor rate payer incentives required in GA. Permanent downward pressure\r\non GA electric rates. Clean, cost effective, reliable renewable\r\nenergy = Priceless!!”\r\n<\/p>\r\n
