Los Angeles School District Launches Major Solar Energy Program. By Mitchell Landsberg, LATimes, February 10, 2009. "The Los Angeles school district announced a $350-million goal of putting enough solar panels on schools and other district buildings to generate 50 megawatts of electricity by 2012… The We Build Green program may cost taxpayers more money than it will ultimately save in energy use. Randy Britt, the district's director of sustainability, said the solar installations should save about $12.5 million a year for 20 to 25 years, for a maximum of about $320 million. Still, district officials said the program will also create jobs and provide enough of an economic stimulus to more than pay for itself."
