Walmart announced today that it would cover more than 75% of its California stores with Solar Panels. It hopes to generate more than 70% of its power for those stores when the project is complete. It wasn’t long ago that businesses didn’t spend much time thinking about energy costs. But with energy prices rising everywhere, more and more businesses have started to realize that renewable energies will cut their costs significantly in the coming decades. I suspect Walmart will be the first of many to pursue this strategy in the coming years. In end it’s all about green energy, not green in the environmental sense, but green in the dollars and cents sense.
