Yucatán, Mexico is adding a new solar energy production facility which can produce up to 18 megawatts of electricity, serving about 5.3% of the state's households. Additional facilities are on the way, with aims to produce a massive surplus within three or four years.

The San Ignacio solar plant, which covers 66 hectares[*] in the municipality of Progreso, was inaugurated Friday by Governor Mauricio Vila Dosal. The Chinese company Jinko Solar invested US $30 million to build the plant.

Energy generated by the plant will be consumed in Progreso and the state capital, Mérida.

[*] 66 hectares is just over 163 acres or just over 1/4 (i.e. 163/640) of a square mile.

    So sad that they chose Moderators that can't, or don't read. That don't know what the stories are about. And when they see my name, they "automatically" Down Mod without reading my Tweet. Puting, "Offtopic" on a Tweet that's 100% Ontopic. To try to silence me like they've silenced so many others -- XivLacuna, cocaine overdose, Aryanx277, Jondraper88 and so many more. The many who are silent because they've been silenced. I call them the Silent Majority. Who when they try to tweet, can't. They don't see their Tweet, they see "Due to excessive bad posting from this IP or Subnet, comment posting has temporarily been disabled. If it's you, consider this a chance to sit in the timeout corner." They say disabled, which I guess is a politically correct way to say crippled. In New York we call it Kneecapping. I've seen it many times and it's not great, believe me.
