As alternative energy continues to be the hot topic in our flailing economy, New York City sets an environmental example by launching Times Square’s first 100 percent eco-powered billboard.
The billboard powered entirely by wind and sun, is the first such sign in New York City. It will be erected by Ricoh Company, Ltd., a Japanese company that strives to be outstanding in all areas of the environment, society, and the economy.

This photo is one of two such billboards I saw driving through central Pennsylvania recently. The other had a similar message but said: “Clean Coal: Now Clean and Green with New Technologies.” The billboard is sponsored by an organization called Families Organized to Represent the Coal Economy (FORCE). I know I’m curious how FORCE defines “Clean and Green.” Anyone else?
