Green Mountain Coffee Brewing with Solar Power

Its been a year in the works, but Green Mountain Coffee Roasters ha finished a 100 kilowatt solar panel array that they say will make them energy responsibe.

Matt Deluca of GMCR told Fox 44 that they've committed to responsible energy use for several years and quote-- "is kind of a capstone to that." He said GMCE has partnered with GroSolar and Green Mountain Power and now has 572 solar panels on the roof of the distribution center in Waterbury. DeLuca says that kind of power brews up about nine percent of the facility's energy use.
