Go big or go home: 22 story solar collection facility slated for Oregon
Now this is what I’m talkin’ about!
Built on just 3 acres of land, (most single-story storage facilities need ten times that amount) Portland City Storage will be the largest solar facility in the Northwest. Excess power will be sold on to Portland General Electric, and there is a rainwater collection area on the roof. Source: Eco: Portland’s Solar-Powered, 22-Story Storage Facility - Gizmodo
Really what we have to do is build this kind of facility in order to satisfy our energy thirst. Is it easy? Of course not, but also fears that something like this has to be ugly…well just look at that picture!
