From Pigs to Power
Posted on: July 30th, 2006 @ 12:50
German farmer Heiner Gärtner was having troubles competing in the global marketplace as a pig farmer, but he had the courage to try something new and leading edge: he turned his pig farm into a solar power plant.
Gärtner now has 10,050 solar panels on his land, and pulls in $600,000 per year selling his environmentally friendly electricity to the local town. This should give land owners everywhere something to think about!
