UC San Diego, a world leader in climate change research, is taking steps to become the leading utilizer of renewable energy among U.S. universities within the next few years. UC San Diego will soon generate 10-15 percent of its annual electrical needs with alternative generating capacity, highlighting a wide range of collaborative efforts by faculty, students and administration to create a campus dedicated to environmental sustainability. New projects include massive photovoltaic arrays, fuel cells powered by waste methane and an innovative wind energy power swap.
