Let’s all go green!
Wouldn’t it be “green” if we used Sunlight to power the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport? The Feds were all over this brainstorm like a bulldog on a pork chop.
In 2012 The Washington wizards promised $100,000 annual savings once they installed solar panels on the airport’s parking garage.
Today one quarter of the panels sits under tarps because none of these geniuses figured that nothing good comes from reflecting the sun into pilots’ eyes.
The final reckoning on this boondoggle was $3.5 million. It looks like the only “green” here was the dollars they looted from your wallet!
