Alcatraz Island to Get Solar Panels
Mar 8th, 2010 | By Editor | Category: Latest HeadlinesSAN FRANCISCO—Alcatraz Island is going green.
The National Park Service, which oversees the island, said Friday it will fund a project to put more than 1,000 solar panels on the main prison and laundry building.
The panels are expected to provide 40 to 60 percent of the island’s electricity and reduce the need for two aging diesel generators.
