Whats the biggest attraction you have ever seen? Mine would have to be the world’s largest nickel in Sudbury. Those roadside attractions that claim to be the world’s biggest always give me a bit of a chuckle, like the worlds largest ball of twine. All these attractions are funny but what about the worlds largest solar farm? Thats right, green/eco tourism is coming!
So this is literally, big news for the green energy world! According to Jetson Green and the Sacremento Business Journal, plans are being put in motion to build the worlds largest solar farm in San Luis Obispo County, California. It will be located on the northwestern corner of the Carrisa Plains and will produce sufficient electricity to power the equivalent of approximately 190,000 average California homes. The company undertaking this challenge is OptiSolar, but the big worry is where the funding is going to come from? OptiSolar has already begun construction of a massive farm in Sarnia, Ontario where they successfully raised the money, so mabey the doubt will be put to rest. Should the plan be successful, construction will start in 2010 and is expected to be completed three years later.
So when you are planning your next “Worlds Biggest” road trip, mabey you should consider making a swing down to the California area and get your picture taken at the worlds largest solar farm. However at the rate solar power farms are being built, who will the pitch the next world’s biggest solar farm?
Keep it Green,
Paul
