N.Y. megamall aims to run on clean energy

A $20 billion, 800 acre shopping and entertainment project, DestiNY, would run entirely on green energy.  It will have the worlds largest solar installation at 32 MW, 28 MW of fuel cells, a combined total of 120 MW of biodiesel and biomass and 44 MW of wind power.  All construction equipment is being powered by biodiesel.  Hydrogen for the fuel cells will be generated from renewable energy.  Construction is scheduled to begin this June on the largest megamall ever built, near Syracuse, NY.  The 7.5 million sq ft mall would be nearly twice as big as the Mall of America.

As pointed out in the referenced article, the mall is all green energy, but what about all the gasoline used by the tourists and shoppers coming to the mall.
