Eagles Go Green: Yes, There Will be Wind Turbines on the Roof
By Kyle Scott
Published:
The Eagles announced a plan to power Lincoln Financial Field with solar, wind, and dual-fuel electricity. What does that all mean?
Wind turbines on the roof and solar panels on the outer walls.
The most noticeable physical difference will be 100 20-foot, spiral-shaped wind turbines on the top of the stadium. The Orlando, Fla.-based Solar Blue energy company will also add 2,500 solar panels to the stadium’s facade. Over the next year, the company will invest approximately $25 million in the project.
We can joke all we like, but this is actually a pretty big deal, and not just a "we recycle a lot, therefore we love the environment" initiative. This is walking the walk. Well played, Eagles.
Check out the video of what the Linc will look like. Meet George Jetson…
Perhaps the Flyers will follow suit, except they would then go on the "energy provided by us Power Play!" Huzzah!
I can't take credit for that last one, credit reader Dan Spencer with the assist.
