Green Facilities for Green Manufacturers

[Uguis]

General Motors which is one of the top manufacturers of Hybrid Cars makes its move of offering green-environment-friendly warehouse and manufacturing plant. By harnessing the solar power, the facility operating with 50% of its enrgy consumption came from the solar power.

Wow! What a great idea for them. Where is the particular location of the facility. How much power exactly do they get form solar power generation?

[Uguis]

The solar array is producing 1.3 million kilowatt hours of electricity a year. It is one of the largest solar power installations in corporate use in the United States to the roof of its Service and Parts Operations (SPO) warehouse in Fontana, California.

[Dwaynez]

Yeah, the solar power harnessed by this facility can supply the power need of 300 california households for a year.

Nice innovation, I hope that all car manufacturers will have the same mentality. These companies have all the profits they want, why not deal with helping people in their energy needs? Right?

I have to hand it to General Motors, building and using one green warehouse is a good start. It can show other manufacturers of any products that they can also clean up their facilities.

Good work GM!

This is a good step for GM.

Hopefully the can also start to produce more fuel efficient vehicles too.

Well I also read that GM plans to shutdown some of its facilities and cut down on much of the SUV and large truck manufacturing.

Maybe they have other plans ahead.

I think they made this move to focus on other projects.
