There is a lot you could learn about wind turbines.

This 500 acre solar farm is sandwiched between our old, out of service Nuke Plant and the new Cobined Cycle Gas Plant.
About 15 air miles from me.

Sorta looks like crops growing in orderly rows but they are harvesting electricity.

Why?

Duke Energy’s Bay Trail Renewable Energy Center, a solar plant in Crystal River capable of producing 74.9 megawatts of energy, officially started activity Friday, June 10.

The site will require minimal staff present due to technology at the plant. Panels are designed to even survive hurricanes, with equipment allowing the panels to become less rigid in wind, lessening damages. 
While active, the site still is in construction and is projected to be fully finished this fall. 

How many of those solar panels say "Made in China" on them?
