"Solar Power Runs 'World's Largest Laundry'"

[GreenPartyVoter]

"The World's Largest Laundromat has served as a role model," said Illinois Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn, a vocal solar advocate. "It's shown that solar can work in the Midwest climate, in the heartland."

To the chagrin of such advocates, however, fewer than 5 percent of the 40,000 coin-operated laundries nationwide use solar, according to estimates from the Coin Laundry Association, which represents nearly 3,000 companies in the $5 billion industry.

Benson first converted from natural gas to solar in 2001, two years after buying the laundry. The motivation, he says unapologetically, was pure dollars and cents.

His heating bills were climbing as high as $13,000 - the equivalent of 25 percent of his total monthly revenue.

2. What's wrong with Berwyn?

Been there a couple of time when my stepfather's late mother lived and owned a home there. Nice suburb, as suburbs go.

It's an inside joke for the Son of Svengoolie fans.
