Green Mountain Power just broke ground on a 2-MW photovoltaic plant in Rutland, Vermont. While some other large PV systems planned for the area have met with strong opposition (some residents worry large, ground-mount solar arrays will be an eyesore on the state’s pastoral landscape), this project seems to be welcomed with open arms. Why? It’s being built on a 9.5 acre closed landfill.

Re: Some See Garbage, Others See an Opportunity: Installing Solar on Landfills
I always get a laugh at the groups who try to shoot these projects down. Saying that is a great idea for somewhere else. We need to do xyz to reduce fossil fuel use but not here.
Hmm, what else can you do with an old landfill? Golf Course? Cow field? Private hunting preserve?
