These places would be perfect to develop the solar power in the US.

How would you transfer the solar power to other regions efficiently?

the only time i drove through Yuma, it was night. I bought a candy scorpion and listened to mexican radio. I guess I got bad luck and missed out on sunny Yuma.

We get too much marine layer to be up there with those cities. May and June are very cloudy months in coastal Southern CA. I think SD's sunshine % is somewhere around 67%.

I'm surprised Redding is so high on that list given how much rainfall they get in winter, figured it would be below or on par with Sacramento. Also with Key West, I figured such a humid, tropical climate would have more clouds considering all the rain they get.
