All kinds of buses and propaganda vehicles printed with slogans shuttle back and forth on the street roads, all the way to promote the cleanliness and pollution-free of solar energy and the broad prospects of solar energy.

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

To build America's first commercial solar power plant for the benefit of all Americans.

Moreover, countless gossip began to circulate in private, and they portrayed what happened to Orca as a victim of oil interests.

What kind of company Orka is has not been of much interest before.

However, after the company's stock soared beyond common sense in the NASDAQ market, and then suddenly declared bankruptcy, the ups and downs at the same time also brought the joys and sorrows of countless shareholders.

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

There are not many people who do not know the name of the Orka company.

Those who spread rumors talk about the causes and consequences as if they were their own experiences.

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

Several major consortia in the United States, led by Rockefeller, forcibly became the main shareholders of the Orca Corporation in the form of an almost hostile takeover.

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

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

All of a sudden, the life-and-death struggle between petroleum energy and new energy sources has become a hot topic that attracts all New Yorkers.

Several major conglomerates use their influence to control media coverage.

Outside of New York, the United States, and the rest of the world, there is no such news spreading.

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

It's almost impossible to hide a piece of information.

Today's Internet extends to seven continents, and even in backward Africa, many people use cheap computers.

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

One post after another, translated into more than a dozen languages by websites and forums in various countries, and reprinted wildly.

People are surprised to find that when they have not noticed, the competition for the old and new energy supremacy has quietly begun.

The major consortia have been in a hurry, and countless media can't continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb at this time.

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

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

After a few days, the topic moved away from the simple battle between old and new energy sources and was led to a broader and deeper discussion.

First and foremost, the automotive industry.

Several of the world's largest enterprise manufacturing groups have successively said that as early as the early nineties, they began to develop new energy-powered cars.

Electric-gasoline hybrid sedans are no longer news.

With a single charge and refueling, you can travel hundreds of kilometers, which is completely practical.

But in the end, the heads of these auto groups also said that they had some doubts about the capabilities of Northern California Solar.

They believe that it will be very difficult to build such a large solar power plant and provide enough electricity.

It's not just technical.

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

Many families have just purchased a new car, and it is not cost-effective to be forced to switch to a new electric-gasoline hybrid car.

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

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

The power company's argument is simple.

Solar modules are mainly used by using photoelectric conversion.

This requires the flow of electrons inside to be stimulated by light to produce sufficient current output.

Therefore, solar cells belong to direct current.

Direct current cannot be used directly, it must be used in an inverter to convert the generated direct current into alternating current, which can be used for civilian use.

So here's the problem.

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

However, if they were to convert all of their existing power transmission systems to the DC transmission grid, the investment would be trillions of dollars, and no one could afford it!

Just after the power company finished expressing its opinion.

Electrical companies also jumped out quickly.

They shouted to the public: with alternating current, all existing electrical appliances can be used normally, but if direct current is used, then all electrical appliances need to be recalled and replaced with circuits.

The electrical company cannot afford such a large cost of recycling.

If they forcibly promote the solar DC grid, they can only declare bankruptcy!

One industry after another, stood up and showed their attitude.

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

Or vehemently opposed, solar energy is entering people's lives too quickly.

Or hesitate to affirm the benefits of solar energy and its contribution to the sustainable development of human industry, but also express concern about the chaos that may be caused in the short term.

Throughout 2001, the world was vying 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 strength for decades.

Back in the eighties of the last century, they began to prepare, make strategic investments.

It is hoped that after the depletion of oil resources, it can still rely on investment and continue to maintain the driving force of national development.

In this period, in the face of increasingly imminent, real threats, the countries of the Middle East are all moving.

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

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

We hope to do our best to extract oil and exchange it for gold and dollars that can retain its value before it exits the main link in the energy supply chain.

Their actions have caused the price of oil to change day by day, and the international energy market has been in turmoil.

In this chaotic time, Northern California Solar Energy Co., as always, is building solar power plants in the Nevada desert according to their planned schedule.

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

Now, there are thousands of journalists gathered in Nevada.

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

Countless reporters sweated profusely, holding microphones, and reported online on the hot construction site in the distance.

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

The next day.

The manufacturer who supplied them with solar sheets (perhaps) had a fire.

Although the fire was quickly extinguished, the relevant personnel also made a judgment that the fire was caused by the aging of the equipment.

But for those who have their eyes on it, this is the 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 guild, demanding higher wages on the grounds of poor working conditions in the desert area.

This incident became the fuse for a series of subsequent events.

Northern California Solar Energy categorically rejected the workers' demands and announced on the spot that it would fire those involved in the strike.

However, they could no longer find new workers.

Even if they sent out recruitment information for high-paying hires in various regions, no one dared to apply.

Everyone who was planning to get a position at the Northern California Solar Energy Company received a mysterious warning.

Those who continue to work at their posts have been splashed with paint in their homes, their wives have received harassing phone calls, and their children have been threatened on their way from school.

One by one, the staff was overwhelmed and left one after another.

Seeing that the solar power plant, before it was built, fell into an indefinite shutdown.

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

For several days in a row, not a single worker in the company came to work.

The reporters only photographed the empty factory building, a few security personnel who were still doing their duty, and nothing else.

The company's board of directors also disappeared.

People are asking, where did they go?

At this critical juncture, are they under pressure to give up on building solar power plants?
