Bloomberg Wants Solar Panels For NY Buildings!



Hey All,

Our boy Mayor Mikey B. wants him some solar panels on all state owned buildings in Manhattan!

Parse this!:

“New York City is moving ahead vigorously on our PlaNYC agenda, especially in the all-important area of reducing our reliance on the carbon-based fuels that contribute to global warming,” said Mayor Bloomberg. “We’ve set a target of shrinking our carbon footprint by 30% by the year 2030. Increasing the use of renewable energy, like solar power, is a key strategy in that effort. Using solar power decreases demand for electricity from the power grid, which is typically generated by burning the fossil fuels that contribute to climate change.”
-Mikey B.

Ooooh snap!
Thems some sweet words. A 30 percent reduction in carbon output by 2030?
Minty green.

All this greening going on, we'd better be careful or it'll be Utopia before we know it.
