Ted and all, Intel turns on its solar plant in Folsom, CA (narrated slide show behind the link):

Its impressive. I didn't realize INTC was so into solar power.

I have a couple of questions. I take it they are not trying to make this economically viable. I mean, where they set up the solar panels is in a built up area of Sacramento where the land is pretty valuable. Was it not possible to put the panels on the roof? That would have made more economic sense.

Secondly, thinking of Murphy's Law, are solar panels and their output increasing in accordence with the theory behind Murphy's Law. Everything I have read about solar panels is that their output is still small and that's why they don't pencil economically. Just curious.

Again, what INTC is doing is impressive.
