Ke alakaʻi ʻana ma ka laʻana: ʻO nā kūlanakauhale Solar Top ma US

Aia kekahi kūlanakauhale hou o ka lā ma US, me San Diego e pani ana iā Los Angeles ma ke ʻano he kūlanakauhale kiʻekiʻe no ka mana PV solar i hoʻokomo ʻia ma ka hopena o 2016, e like me ka hōʻike hou mai Environment America a me ka Frontier Group.

Ua ulu nui ka mana o ka lā o US i ka makahiki i hala, a ua ʻōlelo ka hōʻike ua hana nui nā kūlanakauhale nui o ka ʻāina i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka ikehu maʻemaʻe a kū i ka ʻohi ʻana i nā pōmaikaʻi nui mai ka ikehu lā. Ma ke ʻano he kikowaena heluna kanaka, ʻo nā kūlanakauhale nā ​​kumu nui e koi ai i ka uila, a me nā miliona o nā hale i kūpono no nā panela lā, hiki iā lākou ke lilo i kumu nui o ka ikehu maʻemaʻe pū kekahi.

ʻO ka hōʻike, i kapa ʻia ʻo "Shining Cities: How Smart Local Policies Are Expanding Solar Power in America," wahi a San Diego ma luna o Los Angeles, ʻo ia ke alakaʻi aupuni no nā makahiki ʻekolu i hala. ʻIke ʻia, ua piʻi ʻo Honolulu mai ka wahi ʻeono i ka hopena o 2015 a i ka wahi ʻekolu ma ka hopena o 2016. Ua hoʻopuni ʻo San Jose a me Phoenix i nā wahi ʻelima kiʻekiʻe no ka PV i hoʻokomo ʻia.

Ma ka hopena o 2016, ʻo nā kūlanakauhale ʻo 20 kiʻekiʻe - e hōʻike ana i ka 0.1% wale nō o ka ʻāina ʻāina ʻo ʻAmelika - ua helu ʻia no 5% o ka mana PV solar US. Ua ʻōlelo ka hōʻike i kēia mau kūlanakauhale he 20 kokoke i 2 GW o ka mana PV solar - aneane like me ka nui o ka mana o ka lā i hoʻokomo ʻia e ka ʻāina holoʻokoʻa i ka hopena o 2010.

"Ke hoʻonohonoho nei ʻo San Diego i ke kūlana maʻamau no nā kūlanakauhale ʻē aʻe ma ka ʻāina i ka wā e pili ana i ka pale ʻana i ko mākou kaiapuni a me ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi maʻemaʻe maʻemaʻe e hiki mai ana," wahi a ka Luna Nui ʻo San Diego Kevin Faulconer i kahi hoʻolaha paʻi. "He hōʻike kēia kūlana hou i ka nui o nā kamaʻāina o San Diego a me nā ʻoihana e hoʻohana ana i kā mākou waiwai kūlohelohe i ko mākou hele ʻana i kā mākou pahuhopu e hoʻohana i ka 100 pakeneka o ka ikehu hou ma ke kūlanakauhale."

Hoʻonohonoho pū ka hōʻike i ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo "Solar Stars" - nā kūlanakauhale ʻo US me 50 a ʻoi aku paha watts o ka mana PV solar i hoʻokomo ʻia i kēlā me kēia kanaka. I ka pau ʻana o ka makahiki 2016, ua hōʻea nā kūlanakauhale he 17 i ke kūlana Solar Star, ʻo ia ka piʻi ʻana mai ʻewalu wale nō ma 2014.

Wahi a ka hōʻike, ʻo Honolulu, San Diego, San Jose, Indianapolis a me Albuquerque nā kūlanakauhale ʻelima kiʻekiʻe o 2016 no ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka mana PV solar i kēlā me kēia kanaka. ʻO ka mea nui, ua piʻi ʻo Albuquerque i ka helu 5 ma 2016 ma hope o ka helu ʻana i ka 16th ma 2013. Hōʻike ka hōʻike i kahi helu o nā kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka 20 kiʻekiʻe no ka solar i hoʻokomo ʻia i kēlā me kēia kanaka, me Burlington, Vt.; New Orleans; a me Newark, NJ

ʻO ke alakaʻi ʻana i nā kūlanakauhale lā o US ʻo ia ka poʻe i hāpai i nā kulekele lehulehu pro-solar ikaika a i ʻole i loko o nā mokuʻāina i hana pēlā, a ʻōlelo ka haʻawina e hiki mai ana kāna mau ʻike ma waena o ka hoʻokele ʻana o Trump i nā kulekele federal i ka wā o Obama e hana i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau a paipai. ikehu hou.

Eia nō naʻe, ʻike ka hōʻike i nā kūlanakauhale i ʻike i ka kūleʻa nui o ka lā i loaʻa ka nui o ka ikehu o ka lā. No ka laʻana, ʻōlelo ka hōʻike ua hoʻomohala ʻo San Diego ma lalo o 14% o kona hiki ke ʻenehana no ka ikehu lā ma nā hale liʻiliʻi.

No ka hoʻohana pono ʻana i ka hiki o ka lā o ka ʻāina a neʻe i ka US i kahi hoʻokele waiwai e hoʻoikaika ʻia e ka ikehu hou, pono ke kūlanakauhale, ka mokuʻāina a me nā aupuni pekelala e hoʻohana i kahi ʻano o nā kulekele pro-solar, e like me ka noiʻi.

"Ma ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka mana o ka lā ma nā kūlanakauhale a puni ka ʻāina, hiki iā mākou ke hōʻemi i ka pollution a hoʻomaikaʻi i ke olakino lehulehu no kēlā me kēia lā ʻAmelika," wahi a Bret Fanshaw me ka Environment America Research and Policy Center. "No ka ʻike ʻana i kēia mau pōmaikaʻi, pono e hoʻomau nā alakaʻi o ke kūlanakauhale i kahi ʻike nui no ka lā ma luna o nā hale ma ko lākou kaiāulu."

"Ke ʻike nei nā kūlanakauhale i ka ikehu maʻemaʻe, kūloko a me ke kumukūʻai kūpono," hoʻohui ʻo Abi Bradford me ka Frontier Group. "No ka makahiki ʻehā o ka lālani, hōʻike kā mākou noiʻi e hana nei kēia, ʻaʻole pono i nā kūlanakauhale me ka nui o ka lā, akā i nā poʻe me nā kulekele akamai i kahi e kākoʻo ai i kēia neʻe."

Ma kahi hoʻokuʻu e hoʻolaha ana i ka hōʻike, ua hoʻolaha nā mayors mai nā wahi a puni o ka ʻāina i ka hoʻoikaika ʻana o ko lākou kūlanakauhale e apo i ka mana o ka lā.

"Ke kōkua nei ka lā ma luna o nā tausani hale a me nā hale aupuni iā ​​Honolulu e hoʻokō i kā mākou mau pahuhopu ikehu hoʻomau," wahi a Mekia Kirk Caldwell o Honolulu, ʻo ia ka helu 1 no ka ikehu lā no kēlā me kēia kanaka. "ʻO ka hoʻouna ʻana i ke kālā i waho no ka hoʻouna ʻana i ka ʻaila a me ka lanahu i ko mākou mokupuni i ʻauʻau ʻia i ka lā a puni ka makahiki, ʻaʻohe mea kūpono."

"Haʻaheo wau i ka ʻike ʻana iā Indianapolis e alakaʻi i ka lāhui ma ke ʻano ʻehā o ke kūlanakauhale no ka ikehu o ka lā ma kēlā me kēia poʻe, a ke kūpaʻa nei mākou i ka hoʻomau ʻana i kā mākou alakaʻi ma ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā kaʻina hana ʻae a me ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā ala hou a me nā mea hou e paipai i ka ulu ʻana o ka ikehu lā," wahi a Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett. "ʻO ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka ikehu lā ma Indianapolis ʻaʻole wale ko mākou ea a me ka wai a me ke olakino o ko mākou kaiāulu - hana ia i ka uku kiʻekiʻe, nā hana kūloko a hoʻoulu i ka hoʻomohala waiwai. Manaʻo wau e ʻike hou aku i ka lā i kau ʻia ma luna o nā hale ma Indianapolis i kēia makahiki, a i ka wā e hiki mai ana.

"Ua lōʻihi ka alakaʻi o ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Las Vegas i ka hoʻomau, mai ka hoʻolaha ʻana i nā hale ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me ka hana hou ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ikehu lā," wahi a Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman. "I ka makahiki 2016, ua hoʻokō ke kūlanakauhale i kāna pahuhopu e lilo i 100 pakeneka hilinaʻi i ka ikehu hou wale nō e hoʻoikaika i ko mākou mau hale aupuni, nā kukui alanui a me nā mea hana."

“ʻAʻole pono ke hoʻomau i ka pahuhopu ma ka pepa; pono e hoʻokō ʻia," wahi a Ethan Strimling, mayor o Portland, Maine. "ʻO ia ke kumu he mea koʻikoʻi ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā hoʻolālā i hiki ke hoʻokō ʻia, ʻike a me ke ana ʻana e hoʻonui i ka mana o ka lā, akā e hoʻokō i kā lākou hoʻokō."

Loaʻa ka hōʻike piha maanei.
