NYTimes news story [RE-wrenches]

Courtesy of Grist: some press on mainstream industrial acceptance of PV, for
those who are interested:

A growing number of U.S. companies are installing solar-power systems
at their facilities, driven at least in part by government tax
credits and incentives that make solar more financially attractive.
Johnson & Johnson, for example, has built a large solar installation
on the roof of a major facility in Titusville, N.J.; as one of the
largest solar installations on the East Coast, it can produce 500
kilowatts of energy, enough to power about 500 homes.  "[N]ew
incentive programs made the project financially neutral, and we felt
it was the best time to jump in and do something good for the
environment," said John Subacus of Johnson & Johnson's Janssen
Pharmaceutica Products unit.  Lowe's, Toyota, BJ's Wholesale Club,
and a number of other companies have made similar solar forays.  Many
of the solar-power systems they install will pay for themselves
within 10 years and then produce essentially free electricity for 15
or more years.
