Solar PV panels that light up art exhibits are fine. But this is a pretty minor component of being green as a community.
It would be interesting to challenge folks to think about how renewable energies can be used in Mueller to generate significant quantities of power. Here is a company saying that within 12-18 months they will be producing electricity from solar PV at 5 cents per kilowatt-hour. It is simply an example...and they tout that it is sufficiently "modular" that it can work in small spaces- that is, doesn't have to be a gigantic power plant, to function. Why not put the roofs on the hangars to good use?

Not advertising for this particular vendor. But between Austin Energy, the Clean Energy Incubator at the Austin Incubator:

and others, we can probably relatively quickly get some advice about putting Mueller to wise use in terms of on-site renewables like solar.
