Centinela Solar Energy Project
The Centinela Solar Energy Project is a 170 megawatt (MW) photovoltaic power plant located on 2,067 acres (836 ha) of previously disturbed private land southwest of El Centro, California. The project planned to provide at least 235 jobs, generate more than $30 million in tax revenue over its life-time, and deliver enough electricity to power about 82,500 homes. Imperial County gave a green-light to the solar power plant on December 27, 2011, and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar approved the right-of-way over 19 acres for the connecting power line on public land.[1]

gollark: What if you change the month every year, and only circulate it within small social groups, so corporations literally cannot use it to pander‽
gollark: You could use Urn, which is a λisp which compiles to λua.
gollark: Plus algebraic data types.
gollark: Meanwhile, FP languages can generally do it in as little as:```haskelldata Bees = ApioBee Integer String deriving (Eq, Show, Ord)```or whatever.
gollark: If you want to declare a type with equality and hashing and other such apioforms, you'll need an entire file of rather a lot of apiocode.
