'Solar resource'
The Fresno Bee

A plan to build the largest solar-power farm in the world [story July 6] is welcome news in the Valley. This unprecedented solar project will use our abundant solar resource to directly address several pressing concerns for our Valley: sustainability, air quality, energy independence and job creation. These are also pressing concerns for our planet as a whole.

The Kings River Conservation District should be commended for its vision in moving us toward worldwide recognition as the Solar Valley. I look forward to finding out what other renewable energy projects the district plans to develop.
