Energy independence, especially if you don’t particularly like the country you currently depend on, is a very strong motivator for the adoption of renewable energy. Ukraine has recently become a great case in point, after the announcement that it planned to turn part of the uninhabitable zone around the Chernobyl power plant into a large-scale solar farm.
Chernobyl, the site of one of the worst nuclear disasters in the history of the world, cannot be used for much: farming is impossible, as are most other productive human activities. But there is a lot of sunshine in the area, which can be harvested and marketed using already existent power transmission infrastructure, according to Ukraine’s environment minister Ostap Semerak.

Save your Solyndra stock boys, Chernobyl will Rise Again!
good question.
Sounds like the US taxpayer is about to buy a solar plant.
Given Turd-owe’s penchant for all things green, it is no wonder that Canadian energy companies are interested. They can use solar generation as ‘carbon credits’ against O&G production in Canada.
Soooo....are they pointing the collectors at the ground?
