Wal-Mart, once criticized by the left, is making one of their long-held dreams a reality: the deployment of affordable green energy on an industrial scale. The roof of the Wal-Mart in Mountain View, Calif. is covered with solar panels that provide 15% of the power needed to run the store depending on the time of day.
Wal-Mart generates or uses 26% of its worldwide power from renewable sources, including wind, solar, fuel cells, and hydropower. That's more than the overall 13% share of U.S. generation from renewables. 'To make it harder on ourselves,' says David Ozment, Wal-Mart's energy chief, 'everything we do has to make business sense.'
Wal-Mart is the single biggest commercial solar power generator in the country, with enough solar arrays to produce this amount of electricity. It intends to double its number of arrays by 2020 as part of a goal set by former CEO Lee Scott in 2005 for Wal-Mart to be powered entirely with renewable energy. Wal-Mart uses an incredible amount of electricity.
