True Solar Takeaways (Spoilers!)


Yes, there is a Department of Energy unit called the Office
of Intelligence and Counter Intelligence. Look it up.

No, the Department of the Interior does not have a DFM--a
Defence of Fossil Fuels intelligence agency. As not as far as I
know, the DFM is fiction, but... you never know.

Solar projects are often built on landfills because solar
projects built on landfills, brownfields, and superfund zones get
a bonus 10% investment tax credit.

Energy is and always will be a part of politics, war, and
corruption.  There's a reason that the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet
patrols the Arabian Peninsula...Follow the money. 

The Italian mafia has invested in solar projects in the past,
but the existence of a modern solar money laundering syndicate is
100% fiction... as far as I know.
