Editor: There are two interesting, related articles in the latest Loudoun Now. The first details the possibility that there will not be enough electricity for Loudoun's data centers. The second reports that a new school in Arcola has solar panels which generate 40% of its electricity needs. Is it possible to get these two parties together? The data centers consume enormous amounts of electricity but have acres of flat roofs, ideal for solar panels. It is not likely that they can generate all their electricity needs but they can contribute.
