You are saying $17 million and several others say $16 million for the cost of the solar array at Pocono. This is a far larger and more fixable problem than the "green house effect" Getting the facts correct, and money managment. For the $16 million spent to power Pocono when the sun is out and only when the sun is out. They could have got the same amount of power generation capacity which would work out to far more KWH than the solar since the less expensive system would run at night. and 2,000 gallons of diesel fuel.

Living and working in Atlanta I can honestly say that this is the kind of stuff people here consider green. Yeah, let's build a track for cars to drive on in one of the most heavily trafficked cities in the country then slap some water-less urinals in the clubhouse and call it green. Clueless doesn't even begin to describe this. This should be a joke, but I'm sure it's not. What's next; an eco-friendly oil refinery? Give me a break. Wow.
