Crosbyton Wins Solar Power Research Prize With Tech Ties
Crosbyton, Texas, with Texas Tech University and E-Systems, Inc., won a solar powered electric generation prize valued originally at 871000 and potentially growing to 20 to 22 million. The town will host large dish collectors on city land to produce power for the city plant, with natural gas and diesel back ups.
