Citing the threat of Global warming on skiing areas, around 45 resorts in 14 states have moved to adopt ‘Green energy’ for their skiing activities. 16 resorts have gone a few steps further, and are receiving 100 percent of their power from clean energy to meet their power requirements in which wind, hydroelectric, solar, bio-mass and geothermal are mainly included.
Michael Berry, president of the National Ski Areas Association said:
I think we’re a platform industry. We have a bully pulpit to operate from. When you think of global warming the first thing you think of is snowfall and wintertime and how that changes.
Well, these efforts are highly commendable, especially when the world is facing the threat to its own existence. This winter the skiers will find smog free air and as a result will inhale more and more oxygen.
