Other Austin Energy renewable projects include the Webberville Solar Farm, which is located east of Austin on 300 acres of land owned by the city. The large array of 270 watt photovoltaic modules will generate a total of 30 megawatts for the city and is set to be online in December. The city is paying $10 million a year for 25 years as the solar farm’s sole client to Gemini Solar Development Co., the farm’s owner and operator.

And they are paying several times more for the solar cost over normal forms of energy just to tell people they are using solar.

That is the ugliest dumbest waste of good land I have ever seen....well, except for the windfarms.
