replies: text: If you read between the lines they sold the renewable credits to Nevada Power for about $100 million - the cost of installation. The piddling 2.2 cents/kWh just pays their profit on the project (all of this is total guesswork). One report said that the Air Force was going to save $1 million in 2007 ("this year"), yet it went fully online only on December 17. By my calculation the Air Force will actually save (0.09-0.022) x 25 million kWh = $1.7 million each year, except that of course that $100 million came from Nevada Power, which will inevitably contribute to raising Nevada Power's rates from 9 cents to 10 cents/kWh or more, and since the Air Force only gets 30% of their electricity from the panels, they eventually lose more than they save as the cost of electricity goes up (the 30% from the sun is at a fixed price, the remaining 70% is not at a fixed price). No one knows what the eventual price of electricity will be. Without renewables it would skyrocket. With renewables it could actually decrease eventually. 199.125.109.43 (talk) 19:41, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Reading through the article, there seems to be some inconsistency in the financials. If the airforce saves 1 milion $/year with 6.8 cents /kwh savings, and the farm cost 100 million $ to build, how the heck is MMA Renewable Ventures ever going to make any money? They are IOW getting about 200-300 thousand $/year for the electricity the sell.
