Linkfest: Costco's Newest Supplier? The Sun

Costco's wholesale stores are huge. How huge? The average store is 148,000 square-feet. That's big enough to sell 100 millions pounds of ground beef and 40 million rotisserie chickens each year.

As you'd probably imagine, these huge stores require a tremendous amount of energy. Chief executive Jim Sinegal recently announced Costco's plans to install skylights and solar panels in its massive storefronts. The company hopes these installations will make a significant cutback on the store's environmental footprint.

It's the BPP's Most.
