Yet another example of a completly incorrect statement. This is not the biggest solar plant in the World by quite some margin. The biggest is in Calafornia and produces nearly four times the power. Further more there are at least 10 other plants in the World that are bigger.
Please get your facts right and maybe you wont have such a bad reputation for "bigging things up"!
