A Colorado dentist accused of setting a car ablaze at a solar power array outside Las Vegas last week told investigators he wanted to send a message supporting clean energy. A police report obtained Wednesday says Mohammed Reza Mesmarian denied his intention was sabotage. He told police the early Jan. 4 fire "represented moving forward in the world." The solar farm provides electricity to several Las Vegas Strip properties, but a casino official said the fire had no effect. Mesmarian remains jailed pending mental health evaluations and a Feb. 1 court date. Mesmarian lives in Aurora, Colorado, where records show he faced state dental board discipline on his practice. He filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy last October.

As demand for solar energy continues to grow in the Eastern U.S., the fight over a massive solar farm in Virginia is a harbinger of conflicts to come.
