Florida To Build Solar-Powered City
Mike writes "The sunny state of Florida just announced that they will begin construction this year on the world's first solar-powered city. A collaboration between Florida Power & Light and development firm Kitson & Partners, the 17,000 acre city will generate all of its electrical needs via a 75 megawatt, $300 million solar-powered generator. The city will also use smart grid technology to manage its power and allow all inhabitants of the community to monitor their energy consumption."
I would like to live in what seems to be an Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow.
It would have the added advantage that one 'incident' at the generator site would nut shut down the whole city.
That's disgusting. I hope that the power generator employees won't be doing that on company time.
It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.
Duh....because we all know that a centralized system is much better than a decentralized one...
Why not gas from all the decomposing old people?
But the beez fly around crazy when you light them and don't last very long at all. Perhaps it would be smarter to use the wax, that burns. If you put some kind of wick in it you could have a very controable burn. Might patent it!
MMO Quests are like orgasms:
You may solo them, I prefer them in a group.
The problem with hurricane belt of the USA is that it seems lots of the houses were built by the first two little pigs.
Ah, typos can happen to the best of us. Let me FTFY.

Oops, I DID think I saw "-1, troll" -- but still, it was only a joke and undeserving of the label :)
For conscience is the wound, and there's naught to staunch it
According to the mod history, it was modded Troll then Funny, but Troll has a higher precedence.

Wow. Someone need less coffee, or more pussy.
