Green energy here and there
From Robert Whitcomb’s “Digital Diary,’’ in GoLocal24.com
I think that much of the future of alternative green energy will be in small-scale, “distributive energy” projects, such as the small wind turbines that the Bank of America wants to put up at 3400 Pawtucket Ave., in East Providence. As these proliferate, electricity-generation by big regulated utilities will become less important.
We’ll get increasingly used to seeing solar-energy arrays and small wind turbines in parking lots and on roofs of office buildings, factories and apartment buildings all over the place.
