Florida To Build Solar-Powered City

Posted by samzenpus on from the sunny-side-of-the-street dept.

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."

    Why is this a troll? If you caught the "nut" instead of "not" misspelling, and want to help someone who was only making a joke get their karma back, mod back up to at least a 0 (sorry dotanchohen, I don't have mod points today or I'd help ya out myself).
