The city of Las Vegas officially achieved a milestone last week, when Boulder Solar 1 ? a solar power plant on the edge of Boulder City, Nevada ? went live. According to the Huffington Post, the plant's acres of solar panels will provide 100% of the city's municipal power, excluding commercial and residential buildings.
It's something Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman is particularly proud of.
"We can brag that the city, this city of Las Vegas, is one of the few cities in the entire world that can boast using all of its power from a green source," Goodman said Monday at a press conference.
City officials had been working toward this goal since 2008, when they first began the transition to renewable energy. Since then, the city has saved some $5 million a year, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
