George Washington University Hospital in Washington, D.C., along with George Washington University and American University have each committed to aggressive reductions in their carbon footprints, according to an article on the Huffington Post website.
During the next 20 years, the three institutions will source enough zero-emission solar power to cover more than half of each university's electricity usage and about one-third of the hospital's energy needs, the article said.
The power will be generated in North Carolina — in the largest solar operation east of the Mississippi, comprising three separate arrays — and routed through the state's electrical grid into the District of Columbia regional grid, increasing the amount of solar energy used in the capital.
