A new episode of our wildly popular video series Conservation Nation just posted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As CFACT\u2019s readers know, solar power is one of the least reliable sources of electricity out there. Per the Department of Energy, solar has the lowest capacity factor rate of all energy sources \u2013 only functioning for just 24.9%<\/a> of the year. Not to mention, utility-scale solar projects are monstrously land intensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite Delaware going all-in on solar, only 172 megawatts (MW) of solar power has been installed.  That amounts to a mere 4%<\/a> of the state\u2019s electricity generation. Delaware is still heavily dependent on natural gas, which supplies 87% of the state\u2019s electricity.  Ouch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In two of Delaware\u2019s three counties, locals are fighting to stop the spread of dozens of proposed solar installations. Concerned residents told Gabriella that solar desertification puts wildlife, the state\u2019s natural beauty and vital industries such as farming at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
