Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.

The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

Dig 10 feet underground, anywhere on Earth, and the ground temperature will be a balmy 50 to 60° Fahrenheit (10-15° C). When you tap that ambient heat and hook it up to a heat pump, it becomes the world’s most efficient form of heating and cooling.
