Mcdonald’s and five logistics partners signed agreements to buy around 190 megawatts of power from the Blue Jay Solar farm, Bloomberg reported. The farm is being built 100 northwest of Houston.

This is a huge step for McDonald’s and a much-needed one if they want to achieve their goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The company said that this is a step to get for them to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 26 percent by 2030 and to become net zero by 2050.

Projects worldwide are developing new ways to utilize solar panels and move away from dirty fossil fuels. Architecture students in Barcelona just built a solar-powered greenhouse that uses 50 percent less energy than it produces. Virginia is transforming abandoned coal mines into solar farms, and a start-up is helping retrofit old buildings in Brooklyn to use clean energy. The latest climate report from the IPCC is a final warning for governments around the world about Global warming, so it’s great to see companies taking the initiative and working towards a renewable future!
