Cream rises to the top they say. It seems that Louise Albenda’s idea of putting solar panels on the unused Bath House at Manhattan Beach is alive again. MBCG has been pushing this idea for two years. Our calculations are that 900 solar panels can provide 10% of the electricity needs of Manhattan Beach. Or the power generated by the sun can be sold to the Grid to help Con Edison with its growing demands.

New York City Officials have been approached and are very interested in using the MBCG plan for the Solar Bath House as a model for New York City owned vacant, unused buildings throughout the city. It is estimated that one million additional people will be living in New York City by the year 2030. Will there be enough energy? Yes, because the sun is still shining and it keeps on begging us to use its’ free gift.

We will keep you posted.
