Three projects to generate 1,330 megawatts of power
(NEWSER) - Hollywood may be home to the stars, but California is going solar—with $4.5 billion in loan guarantees from the Department of Energy going to three solar energy projects, reports the AP . The three projects, to be announced today, will create 1,330 metawatts of power and generate 1,400 jobs. California has been a leader in solar energy, and earlier this month started construction on a $4 billion solar plant, the largest in the world, 225 miles east of Los Angeles. The Department of Energy has provided more than $38 billion in loan support to 40 clean energy programs across the United States. More»
