Babcock Ranch

This city is starting to be built this year and it is north of Fort Myers, in Charlotte county. It is 17,000 of acres and surrounded by 73,000 acres of Babcock ranch preserve. This is a 100% solar power city, with a low amount of energy coming from wind power. This system would provide 75 megawatts of energy, sustainable water management and conservation, street lamps designed to reduce light pollution, electric car chargers, a smart grid system, green roofs to minimize energy requirement in buildings, and 20,000 jobs. I think this is an incredible task, taking place and I would love to visit this city when it is finish. This is a good step in the right direction and possibly change what our future will look like in other cities.
