| Subject: | [CPEO-BIF] Promoting Solar Power on Brownfields in Brockton, Massachusetts |
The construction of photovoltaic arrays on a contaminated land in
Brockton, Massachusetts, illustrates that the availability of suitable
land and local willingness to go solar are not enough. To build solar
arrays on contaminated lands, the finances have to work. The Brockton
case shows how difficult this was, but the passage of new state
legislation should make similar projects in Massachusetts easier to
consummate.
