Solar in Carbon & Emery Counties [FULL EPISODE: Utah's Power Pivot E1]

Can Carbon and Emery Counties shift from coal and adapt to a new power source – the sun? #solarpower #energyresources #fossilfuels

As demand for more renewable energy production grows, some rural communities are adapting with a shift from coal to solar power.

Can solar energy provide the same stability as fossil fuels, and keep jobs for the community?
