Solar Power at Nellis AFB
The claimed largest photovoltaic solar system has gone into operation at Nellis Air Force Base, on the northern edge of Las Vegas, NV. The 14 megawatt system will provide 25% of the base’s power requirements.
I put up these pictures because I spent 3 great years flying F-16s out of Nellis back in the mid 80’s. Things were a lot different then. In the squadron we had a Wang word processor the size of a washing machine. Flight planning was done by hand and there was no GPS. The F-16 did, though have some pretty slick bomb dropping and navigation technology, at least for that era. So without any further ado, here are some pictures courtesy of cleantech.com

Tim, couldn’t find a contact me form so I decided to use this. I saw your comment on the Embedded Stock Quote plugin site and I’m trying to install it but without success… not returning quotes. I’m thinking the url is probably wrong. Was wondering if you could please share the updated code with me. Pls send it to blog@tradeforgain.com if you can. Very much appreciated.
Thanks for the note, I have been meaning to put up a contact page. It is done now. I will send the plugin info by separate email.
