The study fund slar canals wuld be able t generate 13 gigawatts f clean pwer,equal t apprximately ne-sixth f the state' s current installed slar capacity. This additinal generatin culd help Califrnia achieve its gal f supplying at least 60% f its electricity frm renewable surces by 2030 and 100% by 2045.

B. T imprve the quality f water used by lcal peple.
C. T prduce as much pwer as pssible fr Califrnia.
D. T help preserve Califrnia's declining water resurces.
33．Where did the inspiratin f Prject Nexus cme frm?
A. A study published in a magazine.B. A clean water distributin system.
