I read an article in the New York Times titled "G.E. Plans to Build Largest Solar Panel Plant in U.S." by Todd Woody. General Electric is planning to build the largest solar panel plant in the U.S. because recently they have been increasing heavily in solar. The plant, whose location has not been determined, will employ 400 workers and create 600 related jobs, according to G.E. However, General Electric will face competition from low-cost, government-subsidized Chinese manufacturers who also is focusing on solar energy. I enjoyed reading this article because I think it is important for companies to explore different types of energy besides oil because the U.S. needs to not rely on other countries for sources of energy.
