Sunset Reservoir

From the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy:

#Solar panels harness the sun’s renewable power to supply #energy that leaves a very small footprint on our #environment. In honor of #EarthDay, we celebrate that solar is helping all of us breathe easy. According to the Solar Energy Industries Association, solar energy helped to offset more than 20 million metric tons of carbon emissions in 2014. That’s the same as taking 4 million cars off #US roads. See how our #SunShot Initiative is successfully working to lower the price of solar energy: http://go.usa.gov/3ZWYj.
