Hurricane Milton provided an example of the unreliability of ‘clean’ energy pushed on the masses by globalist institutions.

The powerful storm devastated a solar power plant in Florida.

Duke Energy’s Lake Placid Solar Power Plant suffered extensive damage and left thousands of customers in the dark.

Here’s aerial footage of the damage:

“Our crews are working to assess the damage to our Florida service footprint after #Milton made landfall, along with emergency response agencies, residents and others who are taking stock of what is needed in the days ahead,” Duke Energy posted to Facebook on Thursday.

“Milton was a force, bringing a record 11.5 inches of rainfall to Tampa, the most in 100+ years. More than 126 tornado warnings were issued by the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) – a record for the state of Florida, and the second-highest number of tornado warnings issued in a single day in the U.S.,” it continued.

“With any storm of this magnitude, we are anticipating a lengthy restoration process and encourage our customers to prepare for extended outages and prioritize their safety. Our trucks are rolling as soon as conditions allow, and we’ll work as safely and quickly as possible,” it added.

“The Lake Placid Solar Power Plant is located in Highlands County, Fla., and suffered damage during Hurricane Milton. The facility opened in December 2019 and is 45 megawatts, which is enough to power more than 12,000 homes at peak production,” Duke Energy writes on its website.

According to Highlands News-Sun, a tornado spawned during Hurricane Milton was responsible for the damage.

“We are still assessing the extent of the damage,” said Duke spokesperson Audrey Stasko.

Highlands News-Sun reports:

As of 10:30 a.m. Friday, Duke spokesperson Audrey Stasko said there were some 43,000 customers without power out of more than 60,000 customers. About 12,000 customers were restored Friday morning. County officials said 97% of the county was without power immediately after the storm.

Stasko said many people thought the power would be restored Friday afternoon. However, only the estimated times for restoration were released.

“Some people will get their power before the estimated time and others will be restored after,” Stasko said.

The first 24 hours is mostly assessment. Critical services are priority restorations like hospitals, nursing homes and pump stations, Stasko said.

Customers with damage to property they own, such as breakers and meters will have to call a licensed electrician. Areas with flooding and tornado damage will likely be later than the estimated time.

“From downed trees and branches falling on our power lines to storm surge flooding our equipment – which causes almost immediate corrosion – our infrastructure was severely damaged by Hurricane Milton. We’re making repairs where we can, but we anticipate we will need to rebuild in many areas,” said Todd Fountain, Duke Energy Florida storm director. “Despite that, our crews are doing all they can, even working through the night, to get the lights back on for as many customers as possible as quickly as possible.”

Duke Energy is stationed at the Sebring International Raceway. In a Friday press release, Duke said they have 16,000 resources stationed throughout the state.
