Grateful to have the leaders from the CA state agencies responsible for land, energy, water attend the first #CASolarCanalSummit and engage with researchers to study how best to advance solar canals in California. The goal? To save water, land & generate renewable energy at scale.

What happens when 7 universities & 3 state agencies join forces to save water, land, and generate renewable energy at scale?

According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, “Floating solar could account for 1/2 of the solar capacity needed to decarbonize the US grid by 2050.” If only we sustain the political will. 🌊☀️ tinyurl.com/3c3d79hk #SolarEnergy #FloatingSolar #ClimateSolutions
