Holy City Installs Rooftop PV Panels

The Holy City has installed 2,000 photovoltaic solar panels to the top of one of the city/state’s buildings. In doing so, the Vatican will reduce CO2 emissions by 225 tons a year and save 80 tons of oil.

The solar panels are not visible from the ground, but the angels in St. Peter’s Basilica may have to wear sunglasses to fight off the glare from the panels.

What a mass amount of savings? And this due to just one building? On another note...That picture of the pope creeps me the heck out!
