And this from the River Group: Note the location is near Freeport. I can't help but believe this is what's about to happen with Owl's Head. Up on a hill...not a tree in sight...:roll:

[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]FREEPORT (AP) ? A fledgling solar power company says it plans to build its first photovoltaic plant in the Florida Panhandle.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Shelton Stone, president of Energy Farm Inc., said Friday the $300 million facility capable of supplying 12,000 homes will be built on 550 acres near Freeport in Walton County.[/FONT]
Stone, an architect, said the Grayton Beach-based company in about 45 days expects to announce a deal for selling more than half of the 74-megawatt plant's electrical output to a Florida utility he declined to name.
He said Energy Farm is negotiating with Florida and out-of-state utilities for sale of the remaining capacity.
Some of the solar power will produce hydrogen for fuel cells to generate electricity after sunset.
