More California Farms Using Solar Power!
How about some great news for an early gift this Holiday Season?! How about I tell you that reports are streaming in that officially, more farms in California than ever are actually operating on solar power?! Believe it friends, early Holiday Gift indeed!
That’s right, according to new reports, there has been a noticeable and sizable increase in the number of farms in and around California that are actually operating using the sun’s energy. From rice farms to vinyards to dairy farms, farmers everywhere are harvesting another renewable resource that is in abundance in California…the sunshine. By using solar energy, they have been able to not only cut costs and operating finances, but also give back to the environment at the same time. The fact that the numbers are increasing each and every year is beyond exciting.
According to the article, “More than 960 California companies have applied for rebates through the state Public Utilities Commission since Jan. 1, 2007, for installing solar panels…” While there is no breakdown as to how many are agricultural, the simple fact that 960 companies in ANY industry are actually using solar power is so exciting it might just fill my entire stocking with cheer this year.
Keep up the great work California, and for all the rest of the states, lets get going! Stay tuned for more on this!
