The weather, currently.
The LA Times has a story out today about the solar industry and desert conservationists making friends. It’s worth a read in its entirety, only if for the fact that it should bring a sunny moment into your day.
After nearly two years of negotiations, a coalition of solar companies, conservationists and other groups has come to terms on a set of principles — and plans for further collaboration — that could speed up the construction of badly needed renewable energy projects while also protecting wildlife habitat, preserving treasured landscapes and benefiting nearby communities.
Climate-friendly renewable energy development in line with justice for all living things is in everyone’s interest. Let’s hope California can continue to lead the way.
