According to the Times-Reporter, Zack Space announced the construction of the largest solar farm in the United States will be built in Muskingum County, Ohio.
Solar energy works well for the production of electricity and heating of water. It is used in the southwest with success. Solar panel generation of electricity and water heating is not effective at night or under low light levels, so an alternative source of power is required. The alternative sources are, of course, coal, oil, and/or natural gas.

According to Space, as reported by the T-R, 600 jobs could be created by the construction of this solar farm. This would include 300 engineering and design jobs, 300 more in the manufacturing of the solar panels. Engineering and design jobs disappear when the engineering and design of the panels is done. So those 300 jobs are a temporary increase in employment for Ohio, if that is where the engineering and design will be done.
Manufacturing jobs present a different situation, one which evidently was not disucssed by Space, at least not reported in the media. The media names two companies, Prius Energy S.L. and Isofoton, as the contractors for some 240,000 panels needed for the project. Haven't heard of them? No surprise. These companies are located in Spain, not the United States. According to Space, the companies should break ground on the plants next year.
But why not use United States manufacturers? We sure have them here. Why is it necessary to go to an overseas manufacturer when the job can be done by an American company? The United States has the knowledge, manufacturing capability, and experience to do the job. Why go to an overseas business instead of using facilities in this country?
Mr. Space should address the issue of why an overseas company was been selected to provide materials which could be manufactured by a United States company? Why send the money to Europe when we need it here at home? Isn't this the same Zack Space who supposedly wants to strengthen the U.S. economy?
Space announced the construction of a solar energy project "could be the stepping stone to create literally thousands of jobs in southeastern and eastern Ohio," is certainly open to question. His past actions do not exhibit the knowledge of how a free economy functions as shown the devistation he created by his support and votes for Obamacare and Cap and Trade
The solar farm facility may be a good thing for Ohio, that remains to be seen. Representative Space may have been instrumental in getting this project started, or he may be taking advantage of a situation "too good to waste." This is an election year. What are the chances that the timing of this announcement was politically motivated?
Space is a politician caught in an election year where the incumbants are in jeopardy. Listen to what Candidate Space has to say, then compare that with what Representative Space has done. The measure of a man is not in what he says, but in what he does. Dr. Phil said it best: The best indicator of what someone will do in the future is what he has done in the past."
This election is literally the most important in our lifetimes. The future of the United States, its freedom and liberty is at stake. Protect yourself, your family, your country. Know who and what you are voting for. It is your future. Vote.
