Much has been made of Abu Dhabi's Masdar City, but did you know that the U.S. is soon to have its own solar city?
Developer Kitson & Partners has announced plans to develop a new 17,000 acre development with 19,500 homes powered entirely by solar energy.
The development, Babcock Ranch, is planned to be powered by a 75 MW on-site solar photovoltaic energy facility. All development on the site will also be energy efficient, so not only will they be using clean power, but also they'll be using less of it. Pretty cool stuff!
