One-on-one with Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, who hopes to see more sustainable energy out of Arizona abc15
TONOPAH, AZ — Drastic cutbacks to our water supply; generating more solar power; Arizona's untapped energy resources - we spoke to the head of the Department of Energy, Jennifer Granholm, about those topics and more while she was in Arizona last week along with Vice President Kamala Harris for the groundbreaking of the Ten West Link project in Tonopah."Arizona has the capacity to be the number two state in the nation for solar power," explained Sec. Granholm.
While the wind and solar potential appear abundant, there is something most would argue our state just doesn't have enough of, and that's water. Sec Granholm: "Clearly, the biggest thing we must do is sure we are addressing climate change - that really is the issue. Lake Mead and the drop in the water level there, it's just frightening. We are also looking at other things. Technology can be helpful in this. Desalination is an example. Obviously, that's along the Pacific and Atlantic. But having water to access from other places where it is abundant is one solution, but it's not the ultimate solution.
