One year ago, Tea Party members in Georgia joined forces with environmental advocates to force the states utility, Georgia Power, to competitively procure more solar power. Upset about a lack of consumer choice and the $1.5 billion in cost overruns from the Vogtle nuclear power plant, the groups convinced regulators to expand Georgia Powers solar target by an additional 525 megawatts. The results of competitive bidding through the utility-scale portion of that program are now coming in. And they once again show that solar -- maligned by many national Republicans, but often embraced locally by conservatives -- is a very cost-competitive technology.
