| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses how "the installation of a massive solar panel [at The Club at Pronghorn in Bend, Oregon],...eventually will generate power for the 36-hole club's maintenance shop. Describes the possible benefits of using a solar panel, including reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and getting a tax break through Oregon's Business Energy Tax Credit, and the Federal Tax Credit. States that "the solar every project is the latest in a long line of environmentally conscious practices put into use at Pronghorn." Also discusses how Pronghorn does not make use of pesticides, stating that John Anderson, director of superintendents at Pronghorn, "is trying to find a chemical-free alternative for his limited fungicide use." Concludes that "although the use of organic products is a hot topic, the reduction of traditional maintenance products is as effective, if not more so, than using organic products." |
