That discussion with the Feds about how to spend Stimulus moneys destined for the Tennessee Solar Institute has ended in an agreement that while the State may fund basic Solar research, Stim funds will go toward quicker results: Larisa Brass reports in the KNS that Stim funds will fuel a Solar Opportunity Fund, which will be administered from UT's Cherokee Farms research campus and will be focused on helping "businesses looking to reduce energy consumption and utilize solar technology. Other money will be available for work force development in order to prepare workers for new jobs building, installing and maintaining solar systems." Related VNC coverage here.
