The Solar Heist, or How I Got into the Solar Business, Part 10: Timing

On the next Probably True Solar Stories, we continue with Part 10
of "The Solar Heist" series. Mrs. Prout returns to Mazz and
Charlie’s house to give them a warning. But Mazz and Charlie are
already in Chico. Despite her efforts, it’s just bad timing for
Sylvia, and really, for everyone...

True Solar Takeaways (Careful! Spoilers!)


Building solar projects on landfills or brownfields can be
extra profitable for solar developers and owners. Under the
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), solar projects built on these and
other distressed properties will receive a bonus 10% investment
tax credit. The standard tax credit is 30%, so the solar project
could receive a 40% investment tax credit, plus other bonus tax
credits.

The U.S. Department of Energy does have a unit called the
Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence. According to its
website: "The Office protects vital national security information
and technologies, representing intellectual property of
incalculable value. Our distinctive contribution to national
security is the ability to leverage the Energy Department’s
unmatched scientific and technological expertise in support of
policymakers as well as national security missions in defense,
homeland security, cyber security, intelligence, and energy
security."

I completely made up The Defence of Fossil Minerals (The
"DFM") agency.  At the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if
the Department of the Interior had an intelligence agency that
protects the interests of fuel and minerals on public lands.
