The US Department of Energy (DOE) is going to repurpose sites previously used in the nuclear weapons program into solar farms.
Why are they putting 70,000 homes on old nuclear weapons sites?! \s
Ah, the old Lemmy switcharoo.
Hold my Geiger counter, I'm going in!
The 70000 homes, are already there on the Nuclear Weapons sites.
Gov just realised, the homes needed more power than what the nuclear weapons gave them.
Finally. Jesus fucking christ, took them long enough to do something useful with these sites.
I was gonna say, these places are 1/40th of a pixel on the map, but those are some sizeable acreages! Pleasant surprise.
And think of the cost savings on maintaining all that land.
