The best part is that it's a win-win situation for everyone - energy and the environment is conserved, while Wal-mart enjoys predictable energy costs (the cost per watt is fixed over the term of the contract) and it receives federal and state tax credits for reducing it's carbon footprint. Furthermore, as more companies get involved the cost of producing wind farms and solar systems will decrease, making it more attractive and affordable for smaller companies.
