Today's San Antonio Express-News reports that an old Pearl Brewery that is being retrofitted into condos and offices will sport the state's largest solar installation. The project will take over that distinction from Fort Sam Houston, an Army base in San Antonio. Kudos to City Public Service (CPS), San Antonio's municipally-owned utility, for teaming up with the project developer, Silver Ventures, to pay for the solar installation. CPS has committed to generate 15% of the its electricity from renewable sources like wind and solar by the year 2020, matching a standard to be voted on in the US Senate today. CPS is reportedly also considering offering a modest solar rebate program, to help homeonwers and businesses pay for solar. Nice work, CPS! On the downside, CPS is planning to participate in the expansion of the South Texas (Nuclear) Project and is building a new coal-fired power plant.
