What a f***ing taxpayer-funded boondoggle that will be, I’m sure.

Per NOAA, NYC has only 58% possible sunlight per year, based on 109 years of data.

So that means, AT BEST, it will operate at 58% efficiency. It would be BETTER to just build small coal generators on these sites, and far more efficient.

But hey, what the hell, it’s not THEIR money these Democrats are spending, is it?

This is what happens when the Feds start throwing out “free” money. Our descendants will be paying for this foolishness for generations.

Feel-good "green" energy.

More energy would likely be produced, and much more cost-effectively, by burning captured methane from the land fill.

Chinese solar manufacturers would like to thank the good taxpayers of New York (suckers).

City of San Diego Miramar landfill (along side the Marine airbase) is plumbed to carry off methane gas from the buried decaying garbage to fuel 90% of some on site electrical generators.

But there again they have to keep re-paving the adjacent highway 52 where it is constantly settling from being built and running over an older part of the landfill and we are talking some big dips in the road if left alone for to long a period. Net gain: deficit.

There are currently only three forms of widely accessible economically viable “green” energy... nuclear, hydro and natural gas. The greenies hate nuclear and hydro more than coal and oil. But, why aren't natural gas electric plant popping up everywhere? Because the real goal is to create a shortage so that electricity prices will “skyrocket” using Obama’s term and we will suffer brown-outs and rolling black-outs. Then instead of getting more electrical generation capacity we will be offered a some sort of government electrical rationing and kind of an energy martial law.

The greenies / Marxists want more control over your life. Energy is the life blood of capitalism... they are going to choke it off to force the redistribution of wealth and social change.

Might as well. They’re going to end up in land fills anyway.

If only NY could capture the hot air escaping from Mayor Bloomingidiot.
