All-Star Game features a solar-powered scoreboard and more

In an overwhelming expression of support for renewable energy, San Francisco voters approved a referendum for a $100M bond issue exclusively to field renewables in the city. While the program is focused on city-owned facilities, it has spurred a groundswell of interest from the private sector including the area's largest utility, Pacific Gas and Electric. PG&E retained SDA to assess opportunities for PV at AT+T Park that would be most visible to the public.
