One of the most modern electrical plants in Florida is being built in increments of 305 watts, which isn't enough power to toast a slice of bread. When it's done, however, the Brevard County plant will be powerful enough to run a whole bakery, and then some.
A gang of about two-dozen workers is erecting 500 solar panels a day at the Space Coast Next Generation Solar Energy Center, a project started recently by Florida Power & Light Co. at Kennedy Space Center. But the workers are improving their rhythm and their dexterity with the system's stainless-steel nuts and bolts, mounting brackets, power wrenches and aluminum-body panels.
