There has been a lot of activity recently in the Hodgson Desert. About 35 miles off Highway 2, dozens of miles from the nearest town, British firm Illuminated Solutions is constructing a state-of-the-art power generation facility using the latest in photovoltaic solar technology. When completed, the facility, dubbed ECV-12 by government planners, will provide up to 75% of the electricity needs to every home, office, and store within a 4oo-mile radius. Power generated at the station will be distributed to the regional electrical grid by a series of buried transmission lines.
In many ways, the Hodgson Desert is the perfect site for such a project. Its lack of inhabitants means that construction and operation of ECV-12 will not be disruptive, and its hot, dry climate ensures a high solar energy output. However, there have been concerns raised by local environmental groups about the potential for damage to the desert ecosystem. The plants and animals that live in the Hodgson Desert, they say, depend on a very fragile balance of natural conditions. The increased traffic that ECV-12 will bring into it threatens to upend that balance. On the whole, though, environmentalists say they are pleased to see such serious investment being made in clean, renewable solar energy.
From: T. Patil, Illuminated Solutions
To: Editor, Hodgson Press Herald
Subject: May 7 article
Hello, my name is Tim Patil, and I am a public relations officer with Illuminated Solutions. I want to thank you for your article of May 7 introducing the ECV-12 project to your readers. While reading, though, I did note a few issues I feel need to be addressed. For instance, you say the project will utilize photovoltaic solar technology, but this is incorrect. The primary technology to be featured at the ECV-12 facility will be thermoelectric. Also, new estimates recently confirmed by government scientists suggest that the electricity generated will provide for as much as 80% of the region’s electricity needs.
And finally, I was most troubled by your mention of negative reactions on the part of environmental groups. The people who have expressed concerns about damage to the desert ecosystem represent a very small minority, and most environmental organizations have endorsed our efforts. I hope you will take this information into consideration and print either a follow-up article or an addendum to the original.
Sincerely yours,
Tim Patil, Public Relations Officer
