Tesla has started the Earthworks for Project Crystal Sun!
This is/was Tesla's proposed area for Project Crystal Sun, a $10.1 billion solar-cell and panel factory. It appears Tesla has decided to build here!
The roughly 3,000-acre project would manufacture everything from silicon ingots to finished solar panels and create approximately 9,712 permanent jobs. Production is targeted for early 2029.
I decided to swing by yesterday and found massive clearings, equipment staging areas, the old homestead is being used, and they are already leveling a large area.
