I came across some interesting information when I was fossicking around on the web the other day.
It seems that Bronllys Hospital is the first hospital in the UK to make extensive use of solar panels. They have 485 of them, and they provide 5% of the hospital's energy needs. This may not seem like very much, but they seem to be very pleased with it, and it means that the money that they would have been spending on electricity can now go towards patient care - always a good thing. Other local businesses have seen their solar panels in action and are thinking of fitting their own - or have actually gone and done it - so it must make business sense.
This, of course, is the hospital that the Powers that Be want to close down.
