The Eiffel Tower is going green! A New York company has helped to install two wind turbines 400 feet up in the tower. They should produce 10,000 kilowatt hours of electricity each year. The turbines are part of the City of Paris Climate Plan to reduce its ecological footprint. Solar panels will also be installed as well as replacing all lights with LED lights. To keep them from being distracting, the turbines were painted the same color as the tower. They are also inside the lattice structure. They are on the second level at a place where steady winds blow through.
This is all part of the environmental push from the European Union with its plan to reduce emissions and slow global warming.
