today’s news stated that the empire state building is going to go green. its going to save millions each year. blah blah blah… if your interested in reading the whole articles here it is.
this is all good and dandy.. but the bottom line is that they are going to spend USD $500 million to “make the building green” and only save USD $4.4 million a year. so that’s going to take about 113 years to cover up the USD $500 million. these are all very rough calculations. the article does not talk about the cost of disposing of all the old appliances and fittings etc… that will come out of the building.
this just looks like a HUGE publicity stunt to use the buzz word of going green. i mean if you really want to do somethign to benifit the environment, why dont you take that USD $500, 000, 000 and do something meaningful, like plant a rain forest, or help save an animal speciece that is going extinct, or something like that. Feed some starving children in Africa and Asia.
