Utility Providing Renewable Energy To Super Bowl
Although the outcome of the game is unpredictable, the upcoming Super Bowl in Arizona has one characteristic that is definitive: the Arizona stadium will be run on complete renewable energy. The Salt River Project administrators who worked on the stadium have just announced, officially, that the game will be powered off of solar power. The next step in alternative energy is being completed.
The stadium is built so that the exterior walls are completely covered with solar panels that adjust with the way the sun is positioned. Because of this feat, the Salt River Project will begin to move to residential homes and expand its cutting edge resources to the more general public. With this advancement, I can see a bright future for energy usage among not only residential properties, but also large-scale infrastructures.
I find this information quite uplifting under the circumstances of our world's depleting resources. The fact that we, as a country, have the technology to power a stadium with hundreds of thousands of fans with completely renewable energy is a step in the right direction. We know what we have to do and we are doing just that. I have hope. The next step is to apply this technology to residential buildings and have this way of consuming energy the norm in today's ever changing society.
