05/13/2009 -- California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger issued the following statement today on the announcement by Pacific Gas & Electric and Brightsource that it has expanded a series of solar-power contracts for a total of 1,310 megawatts of electricity - enough to power 530,000 California homes during peak hours:
“Every megawatt of renewable energy added in California moves us farther down the path toward meeting our aggressive long-term energy and climate change goals.
"By committing to increase the amount of solar power, this announcement serves as more evidence that reliable, renewable and pollution-free technology is here to stay and sunshine will eventually power hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses across our golden state.”
