Pocono Raceway is adding a green solar energy project to go with the green flag. The track in Long Pond, Pa., unveiled plans for a three-megawatt solar farm that will power all its energy needs and support the local energy grid. It’s the largest renewable energy project in the world for a sports facility. “We won’t have an electric bill,” Pocono Raceway president Brandon Igdalsky said. The $17 million project will see nearly 40,000 photovoltaic modules, or, solar panels, spread over approximately 25 acres of land formerly used as parking lots. The project is set to be completed by the spring 2010. The Associated Press
