But take it from me, a wild world traveler, that\u2019s been to the land down south, or Oz, this place is sunny\u2013and itchin\u2019 for some solar loving. So, it comes as no surprise that the government is holding a \u2018contest\u2019 of sorts to see who wants to become the first \u2018Solar City\u2019. What does this mean, well, obviously, you could guess, but then you would simply assume\u2013and assumption is not a virtue anyone should hold close.
