I want to see more of this

Love this. Coventry, Rhode Island is going to let a private developer build a solar energy farm on a 100-acre piece of public land. It’s not like it was going to be used for anything; it used to be a pig farm and a portion of the land has been designated a superfund site. That means it’s really, really polluted by hazardous waste and would be very expensive to clean up and use. (Longshot to ever happen.)

The town’s going to get yearly payments from the owner of the solar energy farm. And they are going to look into the possibility of putting windmills on the site, too.
