IKEA, those Socialist Swedes who are invading Colorado with its quirky version of the big-box outlet, are going solar (press release):Home-furnishings retailer Ikea said Tuesday it plans to install a solar array on the roof of its store under construction in Centennial. Pending governmental permits, installation of solar panels will begin next month, with completion by grand opening in the fall. REC Solar will design, build and install the 60,000-square-foot solar-energy system, consisting of 2,212 panels that will produce approximately 740,000 kilowatt- hours of electricity annually, the equivalent to reducing 586 tons of carbon dioxide. It will also integrate a geothermal component as part of its heating/cooling system.
Yes, the not-nearly-as-free-as-Republicans-woud-have-it Market is working well here. But I also feel IKEA is setting a huge positive example and will force local governments and energy suppliers to respond in kind.
Cheers to IKEA! |
