IKEA solar endeavors


Wow this is awesome... that's a MASSIVE  solar array and a huge power output!
I really like the idea of industrial renewable energy use because of the economical savings they receive. Those benefits can be put into R&D, social responsibility endeavors, or can help lower the price of their product, something that would be welcomed in this ever competitive global market.

Super Bowl Going Green!

Hey everybody it seems that the NFL this season will be going green next weekend with the onset of Super Bowl . The NFL Environmental Program now in its 18th year previously have developed projects each year to address solid waste, food waste, material reuse, the needs for books and sports equipment for children in need and the overall climate change impact of Super Bowl events. The company Green Mountain, will cooperate with the committee and help the reduce the load of electricity the Super Bowl will put on the  grid. 


The 15,000 MWH of electricity needed for the Super Bowl will be provided by wind farms in North Dakota (to Indianapolis, Indiana!)
