We all have heard of celebs giving lip service to environmental issues. But Jay Leno is actually shelling out his own money to test out sources of alternative energy in his home. Not only that, he also uses very eco-friendly methods to work with his car restoration hobby. His home and his garage is its own field lab.
If there is a reason for Midwestern folks to think green, here is a great quote:
“My thing with the green situation is: Even if you don’t believe in global warming, don’t you want to screw the oil company or gas company or utility company?”
Leno is aware that he has the resources to do these experiments. He is also hoping that others in his situation would follow him– that way, the cost will go down and consumers can afford them for their own homes.
I’m hoping that I can afford geothermal warming. Since I live in an area where wind and solar power is not feasible, going the geothermal route looks like the best method. Leno, on the other hand, cannot go for that as Burbank is on earthquake territory.
