The reason Popular Science did feature on Santa Rosa is because of its electricity generation project. The Press Democrat at (http://www1.pressdemocrat.com/article/20080317/NEWS/803170311/1033/NEWS&...) talks about Santa Rosa's mention in the magazine because,
"Popular Science boosted Santa Rosa to the upper echelon of greenest cities largely because of its Geysers' wastewater-to-electricity project, which garnered seven of the 17.2 total points Santa Rosa earned to take the 23rd spot.
The Geysers project garnered a two-page spread in the magazine titled "Tapping Geysers for Watts," which describes how it converts 12 million gallons of wastewater the city pumps to the steam fields daily into 85 megawatts of power, enough to power 85,000 homes."
More cities could implement this initiative for green electricity production over coal which is a real polluter!
