California Approves Solar Plant That Can Generate Electricity For 800,000 Homes

SACRAMENTO - "California energy commissioners approved the world's largest solar project Wednesday, a 1,000-megawatt complex of parabolic mirrors and heating elements in eastern Riverside County that will produce hundreds of construction jobs.

When finished, the $4 billion Blythe Solar Power Project will generate enough electricity to power 800,000 homes, according to the California Energy Commission. Officials called it a milestone in the state's push to produce one-third of its energy from renewable sources."
