The company responsible for the oil spill in Michigan is also building the largest solar plant in North America:
"Enbridge is working with First Solar to expand the Sarnia Solar Project in Ontario from 20 megawatts to 80 megawatts. When completed in September, the facility is expected to be the largest of its kind in North America, notes a recent dispatch from the Michigan Energy Office. The existing 20-megawatt plant began full commercial operation in December 2009.
"This doesn't excuse the company's most recent feat: Spilling more than 800,000 gallons of oil into a creek that runs to the Kalamazoo River, which runs to Lake Michigan."
