Let's skip right past the cringe-worthy "Declaration of Energy
Independence" slogan and look at what the Eagles are actually doing
with their pro sports venue. The franchise that dresses in midnight
green is aiming to smarten up its eco-green credentials with a new
partnership with SolarBlue that will provide all of the Eagles'
stadium energy needs for the next 20 years, after which point the team
will be free to resell any surplus electricity back to the grid. 15
percent of the total output with be generated with spiral wind
turbines erected around the top rim of Lincoln Financial Field,
another 15 will come from 2,500 solar panels to be installed near the
stadium, and the rest will be obtained from a biodiesel / natural gas
plant. So it's not all renewable, but a nice step in the right
direction, nonetheless.
