Manchester City Powered by the Wind
By: Bob | September 28th, 2006
We’re big proponents of wind energy here at The Offside. The hot air that is spouted in our office alone is enough to power an entire city. Maybe that is why we don’t have any big oil companies knocking down our doors to advertise on this site.
Manchester City’s football club is also a believer in renewable energy. The club announced today that it will be building an 85-metre-high next on its grounds that will generate enough power to keep the lights on at its stadium and then some. It will be operational in 2007.
Using Peter Crouch as a model, the wind turbine will be among the tallest in all of Europe and will make the stadium the first in the world to be solely powered by renewable energy. Hey, if you can’t be first in the Premiership table you have to seek alternative claims to fame and this is as good of one as any. Besides, it will give Manchester City fans something to watch other than the suspect play they usually see on the pitch.
