Gov. Tom Wolf on Monday announced a major clean energy initiative that he said will produce nearly 50% of the state government’s electricity through new solar energy arrays.

Wolf said Pennsylvania PULSE (Project to Utilize Light and Solar Energy) will go into operation Jan. 1, 2023.

According to the governor, the project is the largest solar commitment by any government in the U.S. announced to date.

Solar arrays will be built in seven locations in six counties: York, Juniata, Columbia, Montour, Northumberland and Snyder.

The total 191-megawatt project is expected to deliver 361,000 megawatt hours of electricity per year.

"This clean, environmentally-friendly solar energy will lower our annual carbon dioxide emission statewide by 157,000 metric tons, which is the equivalent of taking more than 34,000 cars off the road," General Services Secretary Curt Topper said.

Officials said the solar project will also create 400-plus jobs.

Ahh the Laurel Highlands, covered in worthless solar panels...

[mylife]

Tom, you ignorant twit, you have potential hydro electric everywhere, dam up the damn rivers /s

[DIRTYSECRET]

I got a better idea. Get rid of 50% of the government.

[Salamander]

Winters are cold, gray and vicious.

Summer skies are 50/50, at best.

[Kid Shelleen]

Wolf is not too bright but don’t confuse stupidity with evil.

Gov Tom Wolfe plans to create a system of rolling blackouts to meet energy demands

Gov. Tom Wolf announces plan to produce 50% of state government electricity through solar energy

This means 50% of the state's electricity may not be available on demand. We don't have storage capacity for the energy we use - we must be able to generate it on demand. When the sky is cloudy or it's night time, solar energy can't produce on demand.

Oh I make no such miscalculation..

[NonValueAdded]

The governor could not be reached for comment because it was raining

[chuckee]

Apparently, Wolf and his Dem colleagues produced 50% of the Philadelphia’s votes through solar energy this last election. Now, to try the sleight of hand trick on the state’s energy grid

It’s gonna take more aholes with squeegees and snow shovels than that to keep yer solar panels clear
