Oil giant powers up solar site near Bakersfield
Chevron Corp. is taking the wraps off an 8-acre site in Bakersfield where it is testing various types of solar panels.
The oil giant is becoming more green - and a massive refinery in Kern County has become a test site of sorts, according to the Los Angeles Times. Chevron is considering using solar to run its operations, and has already seen significant energy savings by using alternative energy.
Here's the story.
It is yet another example of the emergence of solar energy, and the role the San Joaquin Valley can play.
