re: #75 UncleSam

I was trying to find something online about the Germany/US solar venture in the Southwest, but happened upon this release from Ovonic’s web site:

Other major announcements in 2008 included United Solar’s parent company (ECD) reaching sustainable profitability, closing a $400 million financing deal enabling its growth to 1GW in capacity by fiscal year 2012, and announcing “UNI-SOLAR Laminates will Power World’s Largest Rooftop Solar System for General Motors.”

You have to wonder if any part of Porkulus is paying for GM’s sexy/flexy new roof.
