Taiwan National Stadium – Hugger of many trees
Nothing is more free and more eco-friendly/tree huggin good as the sun, solar panels, and solar energy. It is one of the few forms of “free” energy meaning we don’t have to anything to harness it. Simply plop a solar panel down out in the sun and you’re good to go. Taiwan is set to one up every other environment do gooder by slapping a whopping 8,844 solar panels on the roof of their $152 million National Stadium, home of the 2009 World Games. The panels will soak up enough solar juice to provide power for up to 75% of the stadiums needs. When not in use, the stadium goes into power plant mode and simply pushes the collected electrons back into the power grid. Talk about a good deal. Not only do they have a monstrous stadium, they also have a new power plant. Who’s up for a trip to Taiwan?
