Solar Power
Just in case you missed the event, as I did;
The old Columbo plant in Methuen has moved into the 21st Century. After deleting the Columbo brand to concentrate on the General Mills Yoplait brand, the plant has upgraded it’s facilities to reduce cost and use the sun for a large part of it’s energy needs.
Solar power panels have been installed and the plant is now GREEN.
This is great news.
Here is the announcement.
It was also mentioned in Mass High Tech news. Even Packaging World made mention.
Not a stir in our local papers.
There is a link to Governor Patricks speech about the unveiling on the City of Methuen website. See “Governor Patrick General Mills Solar Project Video” at links on the Mayor Office page.
Why isn’t our government driving their costs down by embracing solar power?
Why aren’t they helping local citizens to investigate and install solar electric and solar heating?
What ever became?
METHUEN TAKES LEADERSHIP ROLE ON ENERGY ISSUES
Guess our leadership went the way of the dead links labelled;
November 2, 2006- MAYOR MANZI MAKES COMMITMENT TO ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND ENVIRONEMNTAL AWARENESS ( in Press Releases) or November 2, 2006- MAYOR’S COMMISSION ON ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND GREEN GOVERNMENT (in Executive Orders).
Stay informed.
