"This renewable energy project is absolutely electrifying ... It will save money and make money."- Antonio Villaraigosa, Los Angeles mayor

The renewable energy project calls for injecting spongy organic material left over from treated wastewater into depleted oil and gas reservoirs more than a mile underground.
