We strongly support the installation of solar energy infrastructure at the University of Miami. Installing infrastructure to utilize solar energy at the University of Miami is the best way to reduce the Universityвs carbon footprint and to champion a global effort to mitigate climate change. Installing a solar water heating system at The Herbert Wellness Center would significantly reduce the Centerвs natural gas consumption, preventing thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide currently being released into the atmosphere. Additionally, by installing a photovoltaic system on the Bank United Centerвs roof, a significant amount of truly clean electricity could be produced for years to come.
