The Planet of San Diego

The 4,500 square miles which is San Diego County models much of earth; from the edge of the planet’s largest body of water to 6,000 foot mountains, to deserts, both high and low, to inland water brackish and fresh. About the only things we are missing are polar ice caps and a rain forest.

The physical attributes of our region are each represented by a clean technology in which San Diego has a global leadership role including solar, wind and biomass energy, numerous water technologies and much more. For decades the world has recognized San Diego as a hotbed of innovation and invention.
