"Right now, we're standing near the largest solar electric plant of its kind in the entire Western Hemisphere," President Obama said following a tour of Nellis Air Force Base's 14-megawatt solar photovoltaic array. "More than 72,000 solar panels built on part of an old landfill provide 25 percent of the electricity for the 12,000 people who live and work here at Nellis. That's the equivalent of powering about 13,200 homes during the day. It's a project that will save the U.S. Air Force, which is the largest consumer of energy in the federal government, nearly $1 million a year."
The solar cells came from a Chinese-owned company, and until we can throw down the gold calf of free trade, we cannot make any progress. The three most prosperous economies on the planet are Germany, Japan, and China, and they all got that way through manufacturing. The idol worshippers tell us to have faith and we shall reach Jerusalem, but the truth is we are headed for Jonestown
