Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore of Oahu has announced that they will be adding about 60,000 sq ft of solar panels to their roof to help bring about energy savings, but will be doing it in such a way that it is artistically pleasing to their guests. The solar panels will create enough energy for about 8 percent of the resorts' consumption, saving Turtle Bay about $250,000 to $300,000 per year. Scott McCormack, the vice president of real estate for Replay Resorts and Turtle Bay Resorts, stated, "We want to be leaders in the field in terms of showing other resorts how to become more green. We've been working on a number of energy conservation initiatives because, No. 1, we want to get our bills down and, No. 2, we feel like we have the responsibility to be good stewards of this land."
