livescience.com — A solar and wind-powered electronic billboard will debut in New York’s Times Square in December, becoming the flashy intersection’s first eco-friendly ad. Forty-five solar panels and four wind turbines will power the nearly 6,000 square foot billboard, resulting in a reduction of carbon dioxide usage by 18 tons a year

That'll sure bring an end to their evil monopoly of our sun, and wind!

It makes one part of it better. If you want to consider the whole manufacturing process of the billboard, the people and machines that maintain it, the disposal after however many years of use <a class="user" href="http://www.mirc34.net/">http://www.mirc34.net/</a>
