Efficient, clean, renewable energy continues to be a bright spot in an otherwise dreary national economy, and understanding what the integration of new energy policies and technologies will mean and where the opportunities are for businesses in San Diego has never been more important. 
The California Center for Sustainable Energy (CCSE) offers a wide range of educational services that empower San Diegans with the knowledge to make wise decisions about energy use and sustainable living through the San Diego Energy Resource Center (ERC). 
Energy used to be simple, but not anymore. Not when you consider variable rates, tariffs, rebates, incentives, direct access, financing, retro-commissioning and hundreds of available technology upgrades, according to Peter Hamilton, director of energy services at the California Center for Sustainable Energy (CCSE). 
The nation’s most ambitious renewable energy effort, the California Solar Initiative is now in its fourth year and gaining momentum toward its goal of nearly 2,000 megawatts of solar by 2017. 
Sustainable Energy Week 2010 would not be possible without the generous support of more than fifty businesses and organizations who have partnered with us led by San Diego Gas & Electric, Qualcomm, Nissan and Sullivan Solar Power. Thank you! 
San Diego has come a long way in adopting the ideals of sustainable energy, but there is still an urgent need to ramp up a more holistic approach to energy use in our homes and businesses. 
BLYTHE, Calif. (AP) -- State regulators have approved a $4 billion solar project that officials say will produce hundreds of construction jobs and ultimately generate enough electricity to power 800,000 homes in Riverside County. 
WASHINGTON -- A powerful lobbying coalition is campaigning to require more electricity to come from renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and geothermal. But the effort hasn't gotten any traction in the Senate this year, despite the push by environmental groups, renewable energy providers, more than half the nation's governors and even some utilities. 
LONG BEACH, California -- Government officials from around the world used to come to this port city to catch a glimpse of the future: Two-story piles of trash would disappear into a furnace and eventually be transformed into electricity to power thousands of homes.
