Florida has a rapidly growing population and a need to keep a serious eye on see level rise. A new city being developed there wouldbe fueled by sun power.
Physorg.com reports
"The new city is being developed by Kitson & Partners on 17,000 acres northeast of Fort Myers. The city will include the world's largest photovoltaic power plant, which will be operated by Florida Power & Light.
The concept behind this 75-megawatt solar generator is that it will produce more power for the state's electric grid while the sun shines than the city will use in 24 hours. For the evening and night time hours, Babcock Ranch will have to rely on conventional power sources but its net effect will be a solar power city. FPL estimates the Babcock Ranch solar facility will cost about $300 million and sit on 350 acres within the development." See full article.
