Detroit plans to rein in solar power on vacant lots throughout the city

Moving from carbon to solar energy is a must, if we do not want to perish in the climate calamity and suffer an excruciating end.

The shade from the solar panels could have the added benefit of lowering Detroit's temperature in the summer.

This sort of progress is a must if we want to halt global warming.

Around the turn of the century we here in California got about 20% of our electricity from in-state coal burning. Today, that percentage is about 0.1%

In 2023 our state got 54% of its electricity from renewables plus hydro, with another 7% from nuclear. We are on track to eliminate CO2 emissions from electricity generation.

Power to the people.
