This year, merry-makers in Times Square New York City on New Years Eve will be treated to the first billboard entirely powered by renewable energy. The 126-foot wide, 47-foot tall billboard’s power will be generated by wind and solar power. The billboard will be advertising Ricoh, an office equipment and document storage facility. It is estimated that the billboard’s use of renewable energy sources will save $12,000 to $15,000 a month and keep 18 tons of carbon out of the air.
