Airports have often become perceived as launching pads for greenhouse gas-spewing Godzillas, also known as airplanes. However, a new movement that is sweeping our tarmacs is suddenly changing the offensive wind of angered environmentalists: solar power. In multiple US cities alike, airports are beginning to fill their otherwise barren surrounding fields with solar panels, which not only emulates a green effect, but with their shiny screens and abundant numbers, the panels add a slightly fashionable flare for those passengers in the air peering down unto the earth. Denver, San Francisco, San Jose, and Las Vegas are currently the pioneering cities whose airports are spreading the solar love. We hope that every airport both nation and world wide will soon adapt to this new innovative movement. And who knows? Since solar power will soon pave the way for more free energy, perhaps the airlines will show their love and throw in our luggage pro bono...but, we won’t tell you to hold your breath on that one.
