Manchester England England... across the Atlantic sea...
... and this is genius genius!!
Co-Operative Financial Services (and when they say co-operative they mean co-operative!) has not only just covered their CIS Building in Manchester with the largest vertical display of PV cells in the UK. They've gone WAY WAY better! They put 24 microturbine wind generators on the roof. This is the biggest urban wind farm yet. The company kicks ass! Gary Thomas, who's head of property and facilities at CFS says in this BBC Article, that he is so stoked by the progress that he's going to kick the plan down on another 200 of their buildings! oh and guess what? He says they are going to ammortize in three years! ok. no more excuses for ANYONE!
