The residents of California “must” wake up and see this solar project of Google’s for what it is (“Google invests in California solar power plant” in the Sept. 11 edition of the Daily Journal). Another water waster. Why do I say that? Solar power plants need water for cleaning/cooling, depending on what type of panels, troughs or mirrors and other operational and maintenance aspects of the plant are used. Adding an additional 250,000 solar panels to an already stressed water supply is ludicrous. There are already five plus operational solar arrays in the same general vicinity using water for their operation. Those five power plants have more than 23 million solar panels, according to Wikipedia data, that need cleaning and maintaining. California does not need any solar power plant for any reason. Solar is the destruction of our nation’s power grid and conventional reliable efficient power plants.
Do the research on your own people and see exactly what solar power is. Don’t listen to solar proponents or solar companies. Step out of the box and read for yourself and you will see solar is not good for anyone or anything except a choice few to make them millionaires.
