The city council of Glendale, California last week voted to study clean energy options rather than approve a gas plant that has been years in the making.
The city-controlled utility had proposed a rebuild of the existing Grayson plant. The council could have upheld the $500 million gas plant Tuesday, but in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, members voted four-to-one to examine other options.
Economic shifts in the energy industry and strong public input changed the context of the decision.
