For those who may have wondered if Ohio could be pro actively involved in energy companies if they started up or relocated here, this is a good story. First Solar is behind the Crayola Crayon company’s solar farm just being created. This is all happening in Forks Township Pennsylvania. (I had to look it up: it’s not that far from Bethlehem; closer to NYC than PA’s western border, on the Delaware River.) I found out about it on Clean Green Tips website. According to the article, it’s supposed to provide 10% of the energy used to create all those crayon colors, like Burnt Sienna (one of my favs).
I had a discussion on Facebook with a few people who felt getting energy companies going here in Ohio is counter productive, that they will want to be where they already are (!) ….places like California. Okay. But apparently First Solar is bucking the trend, so it makes sense to me that others can as well. Just sayin’.
