Los Angeles Lays Out Largest Solar Plan In The Country

• Los Angeles Mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa, gave a speech this afternoon at Solar Integrated Technologies, in South LA, to announce his plans to deliver solar energy to the city.
• The plan, supposedly, will supply 10% of LA energy needs by 2020 coming from a network of thin film solar panels owned by the city, as well as residences and businesses.
• The mayor explained that the plan includes incentives and low-interest loans for residences and businesses interested in installations.
• As of now, 8% of LA’s energy comes from renewable sources, up from 3% in 2005.  Looks like Moore’s law doesn’t exactly apply to energy production and monopolistic organizations.
