Things Look Sunny for K-Town

What's with Knoxville and lists? Not only did we make all those Forbes lists, K-Town was just named one of 12 solar cities. According to WBIR.com:

The city of Knoxville is one of a dozen cities nationwide receiving federal money to boost solar power use.

It was selected as a Solar America City by the Department of Energy.The designation means a $200,000 grant plus technical assistance.The Tennessee Valley authority plans to chip in an additional $100,000 over the course of the two-year project.

Very interesting and glad Knoxville obtained the grant. I wonder what the results of the money, though. Still seems to me that installation cost reduction will hinge on technology development and/or volume.
