While corporations are certainly responsible for planet-warming pollution , some companies are taking action to curb their environmental impact. Chick-fil-A is doing so by installing solar energy systems at locations across California, Electrek reported . The company is working with SolMicroGrid to implement the technology , which harnesses and stores solar energy within microgrids. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, microgrids are localized electric grids that can operate independently from the main power supply. They provide energy resiliency, which can be vital as extreme weather events –– which are increasing in length and severity due to rising global temperatures –– can disrupt local energy networks. The solar microgrids will decrease reliance on dirty energy at Chick-fil-A locations. Despite the rise of renewable energy sources, the majority of grid-provided power is still created using coal, ...
