A VOTE IN FAVOR OF MORE ALBUQUERQUE CITY BUILDINGS GOING SOLAR. THE ALBUQUERQUE CITY COUNCIL MONDAY NIGHT APPROVED A RESOLUTION FROM COUNCILOR PAT DAVIS THAT HAS A GOAL OF GENERATING 25 PERCENT OF ALBUQUERQUE’S ENERGY THROUGH SOLAR POWER.
DAVIS SAYS THE CITY SPENDS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A YEAR ON ENERGY, BUT LESS THAN 3 PERCENT OF THE EXPENSE IS FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES. HE SAYS 40 BUILDINGS CAN BE OUTFITTED WITH SOLAR FOR A COST OF 45-MILLION DOLLARS.
