Renewable Energy In San Diego


California is known to be the state of change. There are always people trying to find innovative ways to change for the future. Finding different ways of renewable energy is no different. I recently read an article about renewable energy plants that come from the wind and sun. It is really great to know that the city of San Diego is beginning to use renewable energy generated from the town of Ocotillo. This is really going to help move cities away from the use of coal and move towards becoming a greener planet. By having wind and solar energy, it is providing two hundred megawatts of energy to about thirteen hundred homes. I never really knew that just wind and solar power can give so much energy to homes. If we can keep continuing like this in the future, renewable energy can help give energy to more homes!


 What I was able to learn is that slowly now cities are opening up to take in more renewable energy, which is a great thing. Being able to harness renewable energy is key to slowing down global warming. This really got me thinking, “Will it be possible to have a more than two large cities just rely on renewable energy ten to fifteen years from now?”
