But he’s also a gear-head. He likes cars. And in our new eco-conscious society, driving hotrods and gas-guzzlers isn’t going to win many hearts and minds. That’s why Leno’s different. Somewhere in Southern California is Jay’s Big Dog Garage and it’s outfitted with a lot of eco-innovations:

• 54-kilowatt solar panel system

• 10-kilowatt vertical axis wind turbine

• Parts-washer that uses microbes to consume grease and oil

• Industrial canister exchange system, replaces aerosol cans for break cleansers

• Natural all-purpose cleaners

• 90% efficient hot water heater.

He’s also got a bunch of cool cars, like a GM biodiesel super-car powered by a Honeywell LT-101 turbine engine. For more, check out Jay Leno's Garage. Via The Los Angeles Times.]]> http://www.organicauthority.com/blog/the-environment/jay-lenos-green-garage/feed/ 0
