Can an entire town run on solar?

HARI SREENIVASAN:

Joshua, a physical therapist, got a job at the local health center in the town’s commercial hub before they moved in. It’s where the first buildings went up. There’s also a restaurant and coffee shop, a small grocery store, and a brand new school

And this is all strategic – it’s early in the project, but Kitson’s goal is to build a self-contained town: provide robust local businesses with job opportunities so residents will be less likely to jump in a car and leave.

In fact, Joshua’s new commute is just a five minute bike ride.
