Sacramento, Calif., April 3, 2008 – Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Southern California Edison have been named for “The Green Giant” of the year award for 2008 by the Energy Education Foundation. The eco friendly awards will be presented at a VIP only event scheduled for April 8, 2008 at the Sheraton Hotel’s Royal Room located at 1230 J Street Sacramento, CA.

“This is a milestone in many respects,” Bill Cullifer, Executive Director of the Energy Education Foundation. “The importance of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Southern California Edison efforts to ‘Say Yes to Green’ are most impressive, says Cullifer.” Governor Schwarzenegger recently highlighted the nation’s largest rooftop solar installation project by the utility company Southern California Edison as key to achieving California’s renewable energy goals. The project will generate enough clean power to serve 162,000 Southern California homes.
“As a member of the Green Giant selection committee, we’re delighted to be involved with the selection process and we’re particularly pleased that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Southern California Edison have been awarded the Green Giant of the Year for 2008,” says Melancon. “We’re also pleased to be sponsors of the Energy Education Foundations ‘SayYesToGreen.org’ initiative by donating proceeds of recycled cellular telephones that will support and fund Energy Education and Conservation education.
