“Sustainable schools like Richardsville Elementary not only have a positive green impact
by protecting the environment and helping with national energy security, but also teach
children how to live their lives as responsible environmental stewards,” said Mrs. Beshear.
“This is a message we cannot emphasize enough.”
The school district will purchase solar panels for what is slated
to become the nation’s first net-zero energy school.
That clean energy will be sold to the Tennessee Valley Authority
and will essentially result in an energy neutral facility.
