Bullitt Center in Seattle - A Building that Generates Twice the Electricity That it Consumes

Solar Today magazine has this article about the Bullitt Center, a high tech building that generates twice as much electricity as it consumes. Seattle, as the article points out, is cloud-swept most of the year. Just think of the potential in countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, where electricity is in short supply most of the year. Think also about the fact that these countries receive more than 6 hours of sunshine a day, for more than 325 days a year. It is stupid of the authorities to not look at infrastructure of this kind . . .
