And gubmint will rescue (with our money of course, they don't have any) whoever owns the thing -- have to keep the idea alive.

Mother Nature is going to do whatever the hell she feels like doing. She doesn't care about puny man and his hair-brained ideas.

The whole damn solar project was likely underwritten by the government so the investors will probably not take it too bad in the shins.

No lessons are learned from this incident, they just take more of our money to rebuild on their stupidity.

That was in June.
Meanwhile, the public power district on this side of the state wants to do massive solar farms too.
Those will be directly funded by Uncle Sugar and taxpayers,

We will eventually conquer solar and personal nukes, or we will perish.

Solar cells are not the answer.
