Check it OUT!!!
So HERE: is my "coolest thing I learned today" moment - and it's already been quite a long day.
If you want to read the story that initially caught my eye, it's http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/greencore-solar-air-conditioner-installed/story.aspx?guid=%7B15BF0BB9-033A-445F-9083-557652D9CDC5%7D&dist=hppr explaining how a MetroPCS (the cell phone company) is installing a GREEN air conditioner on one of their cellphone towers.
This by itself is pretty interesting, because cell phone towers, computer server buildings, the electric company...pretty much anyone who manufactures something, does reserach, works with machinery - are very inefficient in thier energy use - ESPECIALLY when it comes to air conditioning. You know, climate control and all that, for example, the computers need to be cooled down or I imagine they explode or something --- something to do research on another time.
But when it comes down to it - very wasteful.
SOOOO, hearing about a green air conditioner being put in a CELL PHONE company peaked my interest for a couple of reasons.
1. Big Businesses are out to make money (hence the market system of America etc. etc.) - so if a BUSINESS is making this change, they are either trying to be responsible - or more likely this technology is proven and fairly fiscally acceptable.
2. For them to buy into this - this thing must ACTUALLY work.
and 3. If they're for it and it gains support, we are going to see more responsible choices.
SO: in the article - which was interesting, but didn't give too much information, there was a link to the actual GREENCORE (R) site.
SWEET! So I check it out (http://www.greencoreair.com/index.html)
- it's a really nice flash site, also it doesn't say too much, but why complicate life. It is an excellent idea, pricing is up an available and their FAQ section is helpful. http://www.greencoreair.com/faq.html#q1a
So, I would watch this technology and see where it goes. It's pretty cool to see that not everything is being done the exact same way out of habit.
