Nissan usually gets overlooked as one of the automakers actively seeking solutions to clean up the environment. GM, DaimlerChrysler and BMW are heavily invested in hydrogen cars. A bunch of smaller automakers like Tesla, Phoenix Motors and Zap are heavily invested in electric cars.<\/p>\n
Nissan has made major investments in both of these areas as well with their X-Trail FCV hydrogen SUV and Altra EV and Hypermini EV concept. But, Nissan is also focused on providing clean energy at their automotive plants.<\/p>\n
As such, Nissan is expanding their wind farm in Sutherland, UK from six wind turbines to eight. The additional wind turbines will provide 6-percent of the plant\u2019s energy and cut CO2 emissions by 4,000 tons per year. The cost savings per year will be roughly $2 million.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s good to see many large companies wising up to the fact that wind energy can mean a windfall when it comes to both cleaning up the environment and padding their bottom lines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
