I too am confused. While i find the addition of a solar array at my campus a step forward but the entire ownership issue and 20 year timeframe makes no sense and should be further explained to students and taxpayers. Does the college get free power from it currently? Are we paying Solar City for power obtained from this site for the next twenty years? Why does the college have the option to purchase in 20 years?, why was it not built for the college strictly to make it electricly independant from the start? Its expected to produce 10 million kilowatt hours over the next 20 years, but where do these kilowatts go during that time? To the school? Owned and operated by a private company makes this sound more like a long term business deal rather than a shining light to help the college pay its energy bills thru green power.

Gordon Brinser, President of SolarWorld Industries America ststes the following-

“Our nation’s future economic status relies, in part, on leadership like this because American manufacturing is our economic lifeblood.”

Please explain-
