Bredesen Solar faces competition

Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam, an avowed candidate for Tennessee Governor in 2010, and Knoxville's MetroPulse newsweekly are, for different reasons, keeping the focus on Gov. Phil Bredesen's solar ideas. The paper notes that Oak Ridge NL has bigtime competition in leading the U.S. solar campaign in the form of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, at Denver. Haslam, meanwhile, finds in the Bredesen proposal a ray of economic sunshine and a timely op-ed. Haslam is also a member of the board of Tennessee Technology Development Corporation, based in Nashville.
