Good news! Ikea uses sun, wind to become energy independent

Ikea uses sun, wind to become energy independent 

Good things happening, even though some outdated people want to buck progress and eke out very dirty, difficult to extract, obsolete, finite, fossil fuels. While others are already investing successfully in our future, and energy of the future.

"... [Ikea] will rely on the sun and wind to produce all the power it uses at its stores and buildings worldwide within a decade. It plans to install more rooftop solar panels, erect wind farms and reduce its energy usage by replacing 1.2 million incandescent light bulbs with 85%-more-efficient LEDs (light-emitting diodes.)
"Each roof is a power station in the making," says Steve Howard, Ikea Group's chief sustainability officer, adding that the United States has "fantastic sun ... as good as anywhere in the world." Ikea already has solar panels atop 34 of its 38 U.S. stores and distribution centers."
