US Energy Gives Grant To 12 Cities
They are now known as Solar America Cities and they are twelve in all. Each one of them have been selected and they will receive grant funding from the federal government. Technical help would also be given to these cities so that they would be able to properly set up solar technologies.
Last Friday, Samuel Bodman, Secretary of the Department of Energy, disclosed that the government would be giving out grants amounting to $2.4 million. These would be given to the chosen 12 cities - Denver (Colorado), Houston (Texas), Knoxville (Tennessee), Milwaukee (Wisconsin), Minneapolis and St. Paul (Minnesota), Orlando (Florida), Philadelphia (Pennsylvania), Sacramento (California), San Antonio (Texas), San Jose (California), Santa Rosa (California), and Seattle (Washington). Solar America Cities have been chosen because of the current approach that these states had with regards to solar technologies. The grant would help the cities create more infrastructures that made use of solar energy.
