    A rural landscape featuring a long receding line of wooden utility poles carrying electrical wires along a dirt path or right-of-way corridor. The terrain is semi-arid with scrubby low vegetation, sandy soil, and gentle rolling hills. Buildings and trees are faintly visible in the distant background under a clear blue sky.

    Marine Corps Air Station Miramar

    Approximately four miles of 12-kilovolt line runs above and below ground for the power-purchase project between the Miramar Landfill and Marine Corps Air Station Miramar that is set to be complete in May. This agreement will provide the air station with three megawatt-hours of energy to the base from two 1900-kilowatt methane-powered generators at the landfill. As methane gas builds up among the landfill’s waste, it is directed to the generators before being converted to useable energy and sent to the base’s transformers.

    The image shows a large rooftop solar panel installation in the foreground, with a United States Marine Corps building prominently visible in the background. The building displays the official USMC emblem (Eagle, Globe, and Anchor) along with the text 'United States Marine Corps.' The setting appears to be a military installation, likely in Southern California based on the terrain, vegetation, and architectural style.
    The image shows a solar carport or solar panel array installation on a gravel-covered lot, with multiple elevated photovoltaic panel structures mounted on single central support columns. The installation appears to be located adjacent to commercial or institutional buildings, possibly a school or business campus. The area beneath the panels is currently empty with no vehicles present.
    A worker in a high-visibility safety vest is standing on an orange ladder performing maintenance or installation work on the underside of a large solar panel array mounted on metal support columns. The structure appears to be a solar carport or canopy installation, likely in a parking lot or public facility. The setting appears to be in a warm, arid climate based on the palm trees and desert vegetation visible in the background.
    The image shows a rectangular underground access structure set in a concrete surround, located in a dry, arid outdoor environment. The structure features heavy metal checker-plate access panels with multiple hatches, likely covering a utility vault, septic tank, or water infrastructure. The surrounding terrain is dry, rocky soil with sparse scrub vegetation in the background.
    The image shows an active construction or grading site featuring a dry, sandy terrain with piles of angular blue-gray crushed rock or riprap arranged in a linear pattern, likely for erosion control or drainage purposes. In the background, a chain-link fence with barbed wire separates the site from an elevated area containing vehicles, industrial equipment, and sparse vegetation. A construction excavator is visible in the upper right background.
    A rural landscape featuring a long receding line of wooden utility poles carrying electrical wires along a dirt path or right-of-way corridor. The terrain is semi-arid with scrubby low vegetation, sandy soil, and gentle rolling hills. Buildings and trees are faintly visible in the distant background under a clear blue sky.
    A Waste Management (WM) garbage truck is parked on a dirt road in a rural or semi-arid area. The green rear-loading truck displays a sign indicating it runs on natural gas and features the phone number 1-800-DUMPSTER. Utility poles with power lines run alongside the road under a clear blue sky.
    A large yellow industrial generator set, consistent with Caterpillar branding, is installed inside an industrial facility or power plant. The unit appears to be in a commissioning or installation phase, with wiring, conduit bundles, and ancillary components still being connected. The surrounding environment shows overhead piping, caution tape, and installation tools/materials on the floor.
