I would like to know where they purchase 100 percent green electricity,there arent any wind farms nearby,a few small hydro plants on the river but the local power grid is mainly fed by coal or gas plants.

The Children's Museum of Pittsburgh purchases Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) which are equal to the amount of energy the museum uses in a given year. As a result of the RECs purchased, the museum is considered a Green Power Partner of the Environmental protection Agency. Learn more at w w w . e p a . g o v / g r n p o w e r

The museum purchases these REC's from Windstreet Energy; their website has more information: w w w . w i n d s t r e e t . c o m.

Thanks for checking out our video, ripper1776! We used Google Earth for the flyover imagery, so we can't really take the credit. Glad you enjoyed it, though!
