The 1.2 million square-foot facility in Buffalo, NY, is set to be the biggest solar-panel factory in the western hemisphere. Now it just needs to open.
Last week, after President Donald Trump announced the U.S.’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced his departure from the White House’s business council. It was a symbolic gesture, one that positioned Musk as a counterweight to Trump in the fight for the future of America’s energy policy. To win that battle and prove that the private sector can lead the country toward renewables, Musk must now set his sights not on Paris (or Pittsburgh), but Buffalo, NY, where he and his newly acquired company, SolarCity, are trying to build the largest solar-panel factory in the western hemisphere, despite significant obstacles in recent years.
