Officials in Medford are looking at plans to build Oregon’s largest solar energy farm. It would be located at the city’s airport with solar panels on top of buildings and lining the runways. That’s about 70 acres in size, producing enough electricity to power some 2000 homes. Airport officials are working with a local energy company to get funding through the new stimulus law which includes billions for renewable energy projects. One official puts the cost of this project at about $100 million. From the Medford Mail Tribune.
