Burrowing Owl May Benefit from Solar Farm
Photo by Ray Goodwin. http://www.sonoranconnection.com With Pima County’s recent approval of the City of Tucson’s request for an industrial solar farm in Avra Valley, both the city and the county signaled they are serious about pursuing local renewable energy facilities.
