California gets ‘next generation’ solar plant

Calling it a sign of things to come, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Thursday helped unveil a demonstration facility that concentrates the sun’s rays via mirrors to produce electricity.

“This next generation solar power plant is further evidence that reliable, renewable and pollution-free technology is here to stay,” Schwarzenegger stated. “Not only will this large-scale solar facility generate power to help us meet our renewable energy goals, it will also generate new jobs as California continues to pioneer the clean-tech industry.”
