Most interesting part of the article:
"Obama also announced more spending for renewable energy after touring a large field of solar panels at Nellis Air Force Base, near Las Vegas. The sun-powered cells provide a quarter of the base's power needs, Obama said, speaking in a large hangar warmed by the desert heat.
"That's the equivalent of powering about 13,200 homes during the day," he said, and it will save the Air Force nearly $1 million a year."
and now this part
"The base's $100 million public-private solar power system covers 140 acres and generates more than 14 megawatts of electricity."
You have to love politicians (whether D or R)
