An idea of the scale of the 30-acre Keystone Solar Project |
I was jazzed to visit the
Keystone Solar Project in Pennsylvania. It's named after the "Keystone State" - and with 5 Megawatts of clean solar power saving thousands of tons of carbon it's a heck of a lot better for everyone than that nasty old Keystone XL pipeline! Subscribers to this community shared solar project include Franklin & Marshall College, Eastern University, Juniata College,
Marywood University, Drexel University, and Millersville University, the Philadelphia Phillies and the Clean Air
Council.

Traditional ways of life continue just across the road |
This was a relief for me, between witnessing mountaintop removal in West Virginia and fracking in Susquehanna County.
Check out this
time-lapse video of the array's construction.
