From Consumer Energy Report:
"Unsurprisingly, California led the way in shifting toward solar power, installing 220 megawatts last year, compared to New Jersey which was a distant second at 57 MW. The surge pushed California to a cumulative total of 1,102 MW of solar power, nearly nine times as great a capacity as second place New Jersey’s 128 MW."
I can't believe NJ is second in solar power. That is so stupid. Yo, Texas, New Mexico, muthaf*ckin A-to-the-Z, where you been?
I really wish the DoE would step up with some big Manhattan Project-style initiative that concentrates our solar power investment dollars in the desert where it is actually an efficient place to generate solar power. It doesn't make sense for every state to invest in every kind of renewable energy. Some states probably shouldn't invest in renewables at all and instead, build more nuclear.
