A 22-acre solar farm in the shape of Mickey Mouse's head has been unveiled at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.

近日,一座佔地22畝、和米老鼠頭形狀一樣的太陽能發電廠在佛羅里達州奧蘭多的迪斯尼樂園首度亮相。

The five-megawatt Walt Disney World Solar Farm, built by Duke Energy over the course of five months, will produce enough electricity to be able to power 1,000 homes.

這座五兆瓦的迪斯尼太陽能發電廠由杜克能源公司耗時五個月修建完成,它將能產生足夠1000戶使用的電力。

Large enough to be seen from space, the project is part of a 15-year agreement that allows Duke Energy to run the farm in exchange for powering the theme park, News6 reported. The electricity will be fed to Disney World as well as hotels in the area.

根據News6網站報道,該太陽能發電廠大到能從太空看到。該工程是迪斯尼與杜克公司簽署的一份15年合約的一部分,該合約允許杜克能源公司負責運營發電廠,作爲交換,杜克要爲公園供電。產生的電力會供給迪斯尼樂園和樂園裏的酒店。

The Epcot's Universe of Energy building had solar panels installed in 1982, the Orlando Sentinel reported, and this is just the latest eco-friendly project for both companies.

據奧蘭多哨兵報報道,未來世界主題公園的能源世界大樓於1982年就已經安裝了太陽能面板,而這個發電廠只是兩家公司共同運作的新環保項目。

Duke Energy has plans to expand its solar power projects, with another farm in the works slated to be the size of 20 football fields.

杜克能源計劃要擴大其太陽能工程,打算建造另一個大約20個足球場那麼大的發電廠。

Duke Energy Florida President Alex Glenn said: 'By using alternative energy, we are putting our creativity to work and finding innovative ways to help preserve the planet.'

杜克能源佛羅里達區的總裁亞歷克斯·格倫表示:“通過使用可再生能源,我們正在努力將創造力運用到尋找幫助保護地球的新途徑上來。”

Disney is also looking to vamp up its environmental credentials by using a clean diesel fuel made from vegetable oil on the company's buses in order to cut carbon emissions.

迪斯尼公司也在通過使用從植物油中提取的清潔柴油作爲遊樂園公車的燃料,以此來減少碳排放,進而進行其環保事業。
