Energy
Solar power is a feature in some post offices around the USA, and this
is a trend that will increase in coming years. The nation's largest federal
solar roof system is in Marina del Ray, California. It's on top of a USPS
building and can generate enough electricity to power 120 homes! This
reduces emissions so much that it's like planting over 200-thousand trees.
Wow - that's really cool!!!!
Geothermal energy
USPS also uses another type of alternative energy - geothermal energy.
Deep wells and heat exchangers transfer the Earth's heat from underground
to the surface.
With this technology, post offices like the one in Lincoln, Nebraska,
are nice and warm inside when the temperature outside is very cool!!!!
