The government and the national monument is going "green" or at least it is trying. Recyling is being encouraged. They trying to do their part with energy.
One big way has been the purchase of two 100% electric vehicles for use here at the park. One is a flat bed work vehicle,and one is a four door transport vehicle. They look like a cross betweeen a golf cart and a Hummer. The later rig is used to carry workers from the VC to the parking lot on the way to the cliff dwellings. It is small, light weight and seems to be quite efficient. Time will tell if it going to work out, but my intial view is favorable. Top speed is 35 mph so it would not be something that would be used on the highway, but for buzzing around town, it would be ok. It does have a heater, horn and wipers so it would work in most weather conditions. The cost was $25000 which is what I guessed when we volunteers first saw it.
What do you think?
