Calpine has agreed to let him build a pilot greenhouse next to one of its natural-gas-powered generating plants probably the one in Dighton, Massachusetts.
Partially paid for by Bradesco, one of Brazil's biggest private banks, this is a useful pilot project for REDD, the burgeoning international effort to reduce deforestation and the greenhouse-gas emissions it causes.
Annually, the plug-in electric vehicles in our pilot are expected to save nearly 29, 000 gallons of gas, reduce GHG emissions by 257 metric tons, and save taxpayer dollars in avoided fuel costs.
