Remember those solar panels the Prez was touring after one of his enormous stimulus bills? So many now I forget which one. Anyway, here's the update:
The Independence Institute asked the Denver Museum of Science and Nature to provide certain statistical information regarding the now-famous solar array. Specifically, the Institute asked for:
1 ) Two years worth of electric bills prior to the installation of the solar array,
2 ) All electric bills following the completion of the installation.
The Museum denied those requests.
Why? Well, they were supposed to provide a "significant" amount of electricity. Turns out it's less than 5%. Bill for the solar array = $750,000. Payoff? Over 100 years. Lifespan of the solar panels? 20 years.
