(speaking as a local) This is hugely important good news for renewable energy in North Carolina. Not so much for the technology itself -- as stated, this is a Spanish developer contracted to install the farm -- but in that it further cements NC as a leader in renewable power generation projects and the media coverage is directly translating into consumer interest. Just last week I found a flyer in my mailbox advertising a free viability assessment by NC Solar Now (http://www.ncsolarnow.com http://www.ncsolarnow.com). This isn't novel in California, but it is extraordinary in the Southeast. I, for one, and psyched, and I hope this wind farm succeeds.
It truly is a continuation of the momentum we've already seen here over the past few years, as both Apple & Google build data centers in the state, and both of them power them predominantly using solar farms.
