First Solar has commissioned a new R&D innovation center in Lake Township, Ohio, which it says is the largest facility of its kind in the Western Hemisphere.
The Jim Nolan Center for Solar Innovation covers 1.3 million square feet and includes a pilot manufacturing line allowing for the production of prototypes of thin film and tandem PV modules.
Prior to commissioning the center, First Solar utilized a manufacturing line at its Perrysburg facility for its late-stage product development efforts.
“Thin films are the next technological battleground for the solar industry because they are key to commercializing tandem devices, which are anticipated to be the next disruption in photovoltaics,” says Mark Widmar, chief executive officer, First Solar.
“While the United States leads the world in thin film PV, China is racing to close the innovation gap. We expect that this crucial investment in R&D infrastructure will help maintain our nation’s strategic advantage in thin film, accelerating the cycles of innovation needed to ensure that the next disruptive, transformative solar technology will be American-made.”

The drawing here reminds me of a conversation I had with my mother in the early days of 2GreenEnergy when she saw that my focus had become an ongoing effort to improve the wellbeing of all the planet’s inhabitants–now and into the future.
She asked me, “Why don’t you just live your life?”
I explained, “This is my life.”
“How can there not be a way to make him legal?” a citizen asks.
Sadly, this is what being a conservative is all about in today’s America, i.e., you think abuse is fine, until it impacts your own life.
I agree with Joseph T. Stegall at left, but the main reason Trump needs to face justice is for the good of the country–and the entire world.
If Trump dies a “controversial figure” rather than a vicious criminal, the United States will never recover from the drubbing it’s taken on the world stage and the incredible amount of harm that’s been inflicted on the American people.
Moreover, failure to prosecute Trump would set the stage for the next sociopath to come along and take us down every further. Keep in mind that the next guy is probably not going to be as incompetent as Trump.
