Gimme a "D", gimme a "U", gimme a "K", gimme an "E"...what's that spell?

Duke!  Duke Energy that is!  How about their latest plans for renewables; have you heard?  Well, if not, check this out...the utility just got permission to "build as many as 400 'mini solar plants' in North Carolina on the rooftops of homes, schools, stores, warehouses and factories -- or on the grounds of those properties -- over the next two years to establish a solar distributed generation program."  They will invest roughly $50 million in the project and will pay rent to building owners for the systems, which they will own.  This is the first program of its kind in the U.S.  Let's hope for success and see other utilities jump on this renewables bandwagon!
