We may not be happy that Honda has killed the Insight, and we think the Ridgeline pickup is big and ugly, but at least one Honda dealer is trying step forward for the environment. Maple Honda just opened-"the first and only automotive dealership to be powered by clean, efficient wind energy." Says President Joseph Zanchin: "The Production of wind energy creates no air pollution and, if the turbines are sited properly, has minimal environmental impact." The wind turbine will provide supplemental wind power to Maple Honda, and will produce approximately 110 MWH/Yr-which is the equivalent of powering 17 homes. It removes 82.5 tons of CO2 emissions/Yr. Now if it only didn't have so much glass. ::Maple Honda
