Various buses and promotional vehicles with slogans printed on them shuttle back and forth on the streets in the neighborhood, promoting the cleanliness and pollution-free nature of solar energy and the broad prospects of solar energy.

With such a huge momentum, all New York citizens know that there is a Northern California solar energy company that has decided to become a crab eater.

We must build America's first commercial solar power station to benefit all American people.

In addition, countless gossips began to circulate privately, exaggerating the experience of Orka Company as a victim of oil interest groups.

No one paid much attention to what kind of company Orka Company is in the past.

However, after the company's stock surged beyond normal on the Nasdaq market, and then suddenly declared bankruptcy, the ups and downs also brought great joy and sorrow to countless investors.

At this time in New York, the financial capital of the United States.

There are not many people who don’t know the name of Olka Company.

Those who spread rumors describe the causes and consequences as if they were personal experiences.

Various financial statements, stock price trends, shareholder data, etc. are also clearly shown.

Several major consortiums in the United States, headed by Rockefeller, used an almost hostile takeover to forcibly become the major shareholders of Olka Company.

And when they turned around, they immediately declared the company bankrupt.

No matter how you analyze this kind of behavior, it is difficult not to believe that it is a huge conspiracy.

Suddenly, the desperate struggle between petroleum energy and new energy has become a hot topic attracting citizens all over New York.

Several major financial groups use their influence to control relevant media reports.

Except for New York, there is no similar news spreading in the United States and other parts of the world.

But now is the 21st century, an era where the Internet is becoming more and more popular.

It is almost impossible to hide something.

Today's Internet extends to seven continents. Even in backward Africa, many people have access to cheap computers.

In relatively affluent places such as South Africa, the penetration rate of the Internet is not even lower than that in East Asia.

Posts one after another were translated into more than a dozen languages ​​and reposted crazily by website forums in various countries.

People suddenly discovered that before they noticed, the battle for dominance of old and new energy sources had quietly begun.

The major financial groups are in a hurry, and countless media can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb at this time.

They sent a large number of reporters to chase and intercept everyone, looking for the latest news.

The emergence of solar energy has become the most sensational news in 2001.

After a few days, this topic broke away from the simple dispute between old and new energy, and was led to a broader and deeper topic.

The first to bear the brunt is the automobile industry.

Several major manufacturing groups in the world have stated that as early as the early 1990s, they began to develop cars powered by new energy sources.

Electric-gasoline hybrid cars are no longer news.

With a single charge and refueling, it can travel hundreds of kilometers, making it completely practical.

But in the end, the leaders of these automobile groups also expressed some doubts about the capabilities of Northern California solar companies.

They believe that it is very difficult to build such a huge solar power station and provide sufficient power supply.

This is not limited to technology.

Moreover, the oil industry is being replaced in such a hurry, which means that a large number of old cars will be eliminated.

Many families have just purchased new cars. If they are forced to switch to a new electric-gasoline hybrid car, it will not be cost-effective.

Therefore, these automobile industry groups have also stated that this replacement process must be gradual. Even if solar energy technology matures, it will take ten or twenty years to gradually replace it.

Subsequently, major power companies in the United States also approached the media to express their opinions.

The power company's argument is simple.

Solar components are mainly used through photoelectric conversion.

This requires stimulating the internal flow of electrons under light so that sufficient current output can be generated.

Therefore, solar cells are direct current.

Direct current cannot be used directly. It must use an inverter to convert the generated direct current into alternating current. Only then can it be used by civilians.

Then here comes the problem.

If there is no need to replace the existing transmission system, they will also support the gradual introduction of solar power to civilian use.

However, if they are asked to convert all the existing power transmission systems to DC transmission grids, the investment will reach trillions of dollars, which no individual can afford!

Just after the power company expressed its views.

Electrical appliance companies also jumped on the scene quickly.

They shouted to the public: If AC power is used, all existing electrical appliances can be used normally, but if DC power is used, all electrical appliances need to be recalled and the circuits changed.

Electrical companies cannot afford such large recycling costs.

If they forcefully promote the solar DC grid, they will have no choice but to declare bankruptcy!

One industry after another stood up and expressed its attitude.

Or environmentalists who support new energy and unconditionally support solar energy.

Or there is fierce opposition to solar energy entering people's lives too quickly.

Or they are hesitant, affirming the benefits of solar energy and its contribution to the sustainable development of human industry, but also expressing concerns about the chaos it may cause in the short term.

Throughout 2001, the whole world was scrambling to express its views on new energy.

Countries in the Middle East are also feeling the pressure.

Their oil resources can probably be exploited at full capacity for several decades.

As early as the 1980s, they began to prepare and make strategic investments.

It is hoped that after the oil resources are exhausted, investment can continue to maintain the driving force for national development.

During this period, faced with increasingly urgent and realistic threats, all Middle Eastern countries took action.

On the one hand, they are crying out for the huge cost of replacing petroleum energy immediately, and on the other hand, they are actively looking for a way out.

At the same time, they no longer consider oil reserves, and have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the exploration of all proven oil fields.

We hope that we can do our best to complete the extraction of oil before it withdraws from the main link of the energy supply chain, and exchange it for gold and US dollars that can maintain its value.

Their actions caused the price of oil to change rapidly every day, and the international energy market was thrown into chaos.

In this chaotic time, the Northern California Solar Energy Company, as always, continues to build solar power stations in the Nevada desert according to their planned schedule.

It is different from the early days when no one cared about it.

Now, as many as thousands of reporters have gathered in Nevada.

In the desert area, under the strong light of the sun.

Countless reporters were sweating, holding microphones, and reporting online to the busy construction site in the distance.

However, just after the Northern California Solar Energy Company built the first square kilometer of solar power station.

the next day.

The manufacturer that supplied them with solar panels (perhaps) had a fire.

Although the fire was quickly extinguished, relevant personnel also determined that the fire was caused by aging equipment.

But for those who are focused on this, this is new conspiracy theory evidence!

Immediately afterwards, the installation workers hired by the Northern California Solar Energy Company suddenly announced a strike at the instigation of the union, demanding higher wages on the grounds that the working environment in the desert area was poor.

This incident became the trigger for a series of events that followed.

The Northern California Solar Company flatly rejected the workers' demands and announced on the spot that those participating in the strike would be fired.

However, they could no longer find new workers.

Even though they sent out job recruitment information with high salaries in various regions, no one dared to apply.

Everyone looking to get a job at a Northern California solar company has received a mysterious warning.

For those employees who continued to work at their posts, paint was thrown at their homes, their wives received harassing phone calls, and their children were threatened on the way home from school.

One by one, employees were overwhelmed and resigned one after another.

Seeing that the solar power station has been suspended indefinitely before it was built.

In such a difficult situation, the Northern California Solar Energy Company suddenly disappeared from the public eye.

For several days in a row, no workers from the company came to work.

The reporters only took pictures of the empty factory building, a few security personnel who were still doing their duties faithfully, and nothing else.

Even the company's board of directors members are completely missing.

People are asking, where did they go?
Chapter completed!
