The Associated Press is reporting that "Germany's Solarworld AG will invest $397 million in a newly acquired factory in Hillsboro, Ore., that will help it double its solar-cell and wafer production by 2010, creating at least 1,000 jobs, the company's chief executive said Thursday." Money quote from Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski:

"This is a major step forward not only for our environment, but also Oregon's economy."
