Colorado leaders urge General Electric to build its proposed U.S. "thin-film solar factory" in here in Colorado. The plant will employ 400 people and produce enough solar panels to power 800,00 homes a year. Ten states are in the running for the proposed plant.
Recently, (April 7, 2011) the Denver Business Journal reported:
General Electric on Thursday announced it will invest at least $600 million in solar technology, including the purchase of Colorado’s PrimeStar Solar Inc., a thin-film solar panel manufacturer, and a plan to build the nation’s largest solar panel manufacturing plant.

The Deverpost.com reports:
General Electric was urged today by Colorado political leaders and public research institutions to build a new solar panel manufacturing plant in Colorado - a facility that would employ 400 people.
GE announced plans to build the plant somewhere in the United States after announcing that PrimeStar Solar Inc., an Arvada thin film technology company, had produced a record-setting panel produced on PrimeStar's 30-megawatt manufacturing line in Arvada.
