Resort will get greener this summer.This is interesting cube puzzle and logical game.
The ski
and summer resort plans to harness the wind and sun with a "vertical axis"
turbine and solar panels at the top of its Silverlode chairlift, elevation 9,244
feet. Both are expected to be operating by Sept. 1.
The Park City
Planning Commission unanimously approved the resort's conditional use-permit
application last week for a 12 kilowatt, 38-foot tall turbine, along with solar
panels that will encompass about 400 square feet.
Together, the wind and
solar systems will produce about 30,000 kilowatt-hours of energy,What is the

"For the past
six years, we've been focused on reducing our carbon footprint," he said of the
resort's philosophy of reducing energy consumption. "Generating our own power is
part of that."
The wind turbine and solar panels will produce enough

explained.
"This is 90 percent education," he said. "The wind turbine at
the top of the ski lift will be very visible."
The vertical axis turbine
looks different than traditional wind turbines associated with energy farms,
like those outside of Utah's Milford and Evanston, Wyo. The vertical axis design
keeps blades parallel to the central support pole and turn cylindrically.
