Solar firm with Toledo ties to install PV at 52 Walgreens across Ohio

The Toledo Blade has reported that SoCore Energy, Chicago-based but led by a Toledo native with plans to open a Glass City beachhead, has pulled together private-public funding enabling it to install solar photovoltaic systems on the flat rooftops of 52 Walgreens across Ohio, with the potential for even more to come. In the environmental coalition's intervention against Davis-Besse atomic reactor's 20 year license extension, our expert witness, Dr. Al Compaan (pictured at left), himself a solar PV inventer, argued that solar PV arrays installed on the acreage of the Davis-Besse plant itself, at a compressed air energy storage installation FirstEnergy Nuclear also owns, and on the commercial rooftops of just several Ohio cities would be enough to replace the atomic reactor's 908 Mega-Watts of dirty, dangerous, and expensive nuclear electricity.
