"We are putting sustainability at the center of everything we do in Los Angeles -- and that means investing boldly to expand the use of local solar and renewable energy www.airjordan12darkgrey.com ," Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said.
The 16.4 Megawatt (DC) Westmont Solar Energy Project in San Pedro, about 40 km south of Los Angeles, will produce more than 28 million kilowatt-hours of electricity every year.
The project advances many of the goals outlined in the LA mayor's sustainable city plan, including the expansion of renewable energy use.

"While Washington buries its head in the sand, we are carrying the fight against climate change forward in our city, and the Westmont Solar Energy Project is strong evidence of our commitment to a sustainable future," the mayor said.

"Along with helping spur the clean energy economy in Los Angeles and meeting renewable energy goals air jordan 12 retro dark grey , the expansion of local solar builds more resiliency and reliability into the power grid," LADWP General Manager David H. Wright said. "Local solar systems are like mini power plants that generate power right where it is being used, saving on transmission costs and taking advantage of the city's abundant sunshine to help meet electrical demand."
Early this month, Mayor Garcetti and Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia announced zero emissions goals for San Pedro Bay Ports. They also reaffirmed their commitment to adopting the Paris Climate Agreement goals in their cities.
As the chairman and co-founder of the "Climate Mayors" air jordan 12s dark grey , a bipartisan group formed in 2014, Garcetti rallied other Climate Mayors to the cause of upholding the goals of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement on Saturday at the 85th annual U.S. Conference of Mayors in Miami Beach, Florida.
