I am standing on the roof of Infineon Raceway (formerly Sears Point), looking down on a really big solar panel, which is reflecting the sun right back in my face. This is not a feel-good demonstration project. As the NASCAR Toyota/Save Mart 350 roars and burns up gas below me,We carry top brand thebedding for your home. the 1,652 Panasonic/Sanyo panels (see photo below) scattered at five places around the track (including at Turn 10) are providing 41 percent of the track's power. That's 353 kilowatts of solar, and it came on line in June.

From my perch, I can also see could that be right? a flock of sheep grazing near the entry to the track. There are 3,000 of them, and they're cheaper, greener and easier to maintain than lawnmowers, track officials say. There are 15 owl boxes,We also offer customized cheaplves. too, as well as recycled paper in the viewing suites, biodegradable wraps at the concession stands, water-free urinals, and a "clean air" program that plants 10 trees every time the green flag drops.

It's going to be a while before NASCAR features electric car races, though. As 1985 Indy winner Danny Sullivan told me, the cars are fast (because electric motors have 100 percent torque at zero rpm) but don't make enough noise for red-blooded Americans to get excited. Another issue is range as the name implies, the Save Mart 350 is 350 miles long, and electric vehicles can't yet go the distance.Buy Online Direct From hemorrhoids Online. But a new Europe-based series, the EV Cup, is coming to California this year for some races uniquely suited to the EV's capabilities.

The track owners seem sincere about going green. The Sprint Cup Series cars that nearly destroyed my hearing run on E15 ethanol, and seem no less thunderous for it. NASCAR actually claims a three percent horsepower gain.about bedding and what the sculptors do.

Solar racetracks are a growth industry. Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania has installed a 25-acre, $16 million solar farm that will generate three to four million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, powering all race operations and even sell power back to the grid. (Infineon will do that,Free DIY solar Resource! too.)

"The solar launch has been terrific on a professional and personal level," Steve Page, president and general manager of Infineon, said at a track press conference before the race. "The sustainable initiatives we've been taking at the raceway may seem counter-productive to some people, but this is Northern California and the environment is a big issue here. It's important for us to demonstrate that there are sustainable options."
