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.

Those Norwayites sound like communists.

Communism only works with smaller populations of healthy, happy, educated Whites. For example, how Sweden was before...uh...you know.

Failing at least "healthy", "happy" and "white", you'll never belong. Envy, perhaps?

I'd envy the Mexicans and the Congolese if they had their shit together, but for a number of mysterious reasons they don't. And "Whitey caused all my problems" is not a good reason.

I'll only say that the ocean separating them makes from bringing Mexican and Congolese shit together a very expensive logistic operation; I can understand the two countries' reluctance to engage in this endeavor, especially when all they could gain from it is limited to the envy of Ethanol-fueled.

Yeah, I was joking. Also, the world according to UKIP is awesome. I'm glad I don't live there though.
