California is a large state which means that there are a lot of people who live in the state. Because there is so many people, energy us used a lot. California has promoted people to reuse energy. By 2020, California hopes to obtain a third of its electricity from renewable products. A lot of products that people use in their daily lives can be transformed into reusable items.
California aims toward a sustainable future. Solar panels have been promoted in many places to maximize the conversion of sunlight into electricity. Installing solar panels helps conserve energy, it is inexpensive, and it is a natural way of using electricity. People are contributing to global warming by leaving lights on or even turning them on during the day. Solar panels help produce clean and renewable energy. The picture below is the 354 MW SEGS concentrated solar power which is the world's largest solar plant.
California also has two major nuclear power plants known as the Diablo Canyon and San Onofre. The Diablo Canyon power plant is located in Avila Beach and is now the only nuclear plant that is operating due to the shutdown of San Onofre in 2013. This nuclear plant produces 18,000 kilowatt-hour of electricity per year. It is about 750 acres.
