If it was funded by government then yes. If it was funded by the private sector then no.
Fine. But there is a big difference between a plan and a reality.
Since most of our utilities are private I have no problem with it being private or government run. But the electricity would be cheaper if government run because it would be done without a profit.
No. Very good idea, nothing can grow on those land fills they put the solar panels anyway.
It’s a good idea if the market will support it.
Since YOU are asking, though, the only assumption I can make is that it is costing the taxpayer money.
