In Georgia, the solar industry is booming. Last year, the city of Dalton added the largest solar panel assembly plant in the Western hemisphere — a $150 million investment.

Good for them!

What is the capital cost per MW? What is the usable life of a solar panel?

Dalton used to be a center of carpet and textile production years ago.

Wow. That used to be a sleepy little southern town.

guess we'll have wait to and see how much the percentage of windmill cancer increases

I don't see it

Solar panels are cool and all, but what about abortion rights? One step forward, 46 years worth of steps back...

Georgia's utility monopoly blew $9B (in 1987 dollars) on nuclear with another 20+ to go. It's one of the most backwards good 'ol boy institutions you will ever encounter. Look up their commissioners.

Why aren’t we doing more of this in Arizona dougducey? SenatorSinema SenMcSallyAZ RepDavid

That's probably because they aren't inundated with oil like Louisiana, Texas, and a few others. Those states wouldn't do this, which is great, because it would offend the oil companies who pay all the politicians, and half the residents. . GreenNewDeal RepAOC NoDemRift

Boycott Georgia and it’s regressive policy towards women ... nothing good will/can come from Georgia until women are treated equally...

so Georgian's won't have to fry their eggs on the pavement anymore!

Solar sucks.. panels are produced using extremely toxic materials and are almost impossible to dispose of or recycle.. it's absurd how much pollution solar energy creates.. somebody got scammed or greased..

Just a heads up to folks who don't read articles, just headlines.... This is an assembly plant. It's not a solar farm. GA's not an ideal place for that anyways... Even though renewable energy costs alot to start up, it's hopeful that places like this will help lower costs.

The free market works. We don’t need the federal government getting involved. Dalton is in Whitfield County, which went 71% for DT 2016. Interesting that the left and the media portray Trump voters as uneducated and closed minded, yet here they have great success “going green”.

OMG. THEY ARE ALL GIING TO GET CANCER PER trump

Should've used some of that technology to power the voting machines that just happened to lose power during the Kemp's gubernatorial election!

What about your misogyny?

How much does it save, generate and what’s cost for maintenance?

Fantastic new CleanEnergyJobs - though none due to the GA senator sendavidperdue - really looking forward to supporting a new hire for that job!

But what about coal!? I've been told coal is clean, that they clean it.
