Google agreed to invest $145 million in a Southern California solar project that could generate enough energy to power 10,000 homes. The 82-megawatt Regulus power plant will be constructed on top of an aging oil and gas field in Kern County, Calif., through a deal with SunEdison expected to generate 650 local jobs. It marks the Mountain View, Calif., technology giant’s 17th investment in renewable energy since 2010, pushing the total past $1.5 billion. “We’re continually looking for newer, bigger and better projects that help us create a clean energy future,” the company said in a blog post.

We're here to shed some clarity
One of our core beliefs here at Vox is that everyone needs and deserves access to the information that helps them understand the world, regardless of whether they can pay for a subscription. With the 2024 election on the horizon, more people are turning to us for clear and balanced explanations of the issues and policies at stake. We’re so grateful that we’re on track to hit 85,000 contributions to the Vox Contributions program before the end of the year, which in turn helps us keep this work free. We need to add 2,500 contributions this month to hit that goal.
