Lancaster, California has nearly half a million citizens and they want to reduce their carbon footprint. Their most recent step to being a green city is a world’s first as far as I know: every new residential development in the city is required to produce energy using the sun.
“However, to truly establish ourselves as the Alternative Energy Capital of the World, we must continue to take a progressive approach. I would like to commend our Planning Commission for this innovative revision of the Residential Zones, which will rapidly advance us towards becoming a net-zero City in record time.â€
Dawson Creek has become the first solar city in Canada. They also have supported a wind farm on the hills to the south. Real all about them. Write about them too. I have no blog.
That’s pretty neat, I’ll be sure to look into it!
