This great new initiative by the city of Santa Rosa has catapulted this unlikely city into the list of top green cities of the US.
Popular Science did a write up on Santa Rosa, detailing its Geysers' wastewater-to-electricity project. Under this project 12 million gallons of wastewater the city is pumped to the steam fields daily which is then converted into 85 megawatts of power, enough to power 85,000 homes.
This is a fantastic project, because here waste water is being used to generate electricity in a really green fashion! More cities around the world should take a leaf out of Santa Rosa's book and try to harness whatever means they can to produce alternative energy.
