Bill Ford has been preaching the value of environmentalism for a long time. It was no surprise that he would extend his commitment in building the stadium. His company, after all, introduced the first hybrid SUV, and Ford is the only company that has been actively involved in all four of the major alternate fuel technologies for years -- hydrogen, flex-fuel, diesel and hybrids. |
Ford Field was designed to save approximately 15 percent on energy costs. |
There was no question that this new stadium would be an environmental leader, an example of innovative recycling and other green techniques. |
