"We know at Apple that climate change is real," Cook said. "Our view is that the time for talk is past and the time for action is now."

Apple has committed nearly $850 million to help build a solar energy farm in Monterey County that will generate power for its California facilities, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced Tuesday.

Speaking at a technology conference hosted by Goldman Sachs, Cook revealed that Apple is partnering with First Solar to construct the 1,300-acre plant, which he hailed as one of the tech giant’s most ambitious projects ever. Apple’s two campuses in Cupertino, data center in Newark and all 52 Apple Stores in the state will draw power from the facility, Cook said.
