Solar in Carbon & Emery Counties [FULL EPISODE: Utah's Power Pivot E1]

Can Carbon and Emery Counties shift from coal and adapt to a new power source - the sun? #solarpower #energyresources #fossilfuels
As demand for more renewable energy production grows, some rural communities are adapting with a shift from coal to solar power. High elevation and 340 sunny days a year make Carbon County the perfect place to harvest the sun’s rays, paired with new battery technology being introduced in Emery County. Can solar energy provide the same stability as fossil fuels, and keep jobs for the community?

The county commissioner is so happy to see solar, and happy to see land that was making 1,000 in taxes now making 100k in taxes. Does the corrupt county commissioner explain what he is going to do with that money? Does he explain why he needs that extra money? Where does that money go? Its corruption
