The three-person Board of Supervisors Finance subcommittee approved yesterday (without recommendation) what would be the state's largest photovoltaic power project, which would put 25,000 solar panels on the rooftop of the Sunset Reservoir at Ortega and 24th Avenue. The proposal now goes before a full vote of the Board, and proponents claim it will mean 70 new green jobs for the city.

pretty awesome idea, especially since it's a giant waste of space as it is IIRC. Although not the sunniest of locations
The best place in the city they could figure out to install solar panels was THE SUNSET? Don't they get like 100 sunny days a year out there?
70 jobs? Permanent or for the construction? If Muni and the rest of the city payroll is any indication, multiply $100,000/yr ...
There is no such thing as a "green" job. All jobs, all work, all industry creates greenhouse gases.
There's definitely nothing green about a factory that makes photovoltaics.
Ok, First of all. Does anybody realize that there is a recession going on and people are out of work? I do not understand why there are still so many naysayers about renewable energy and jobs. Any positive steps towards getting people back to work people should be HAPPY. Im assuming your REPUBLICAN. I know for a fact that under the REPUBLICAN party there sure wouldnt be any kind of jobs, it would have only gotten worse, unless of course you were in the oil sector which is almost impossible to get in the first place. Under the new administation, renewables is just now starting to take off, give it time Im sure you or somebody you know will eventually have gone to a "green" job.
And second, what about the Arctic and Antarctic melting?
Nobody seems to put that together with global warming and the strenghth of hurricanes getting more severe.
People need to wake up.
