What is the latest on the progress at the Wixom Ford Plant? Are all parties still onboard and if so what would be the completion date?

I agree that old industrial buildings and equipment were very energy inefficient. I think we should reuse or recycle the stuff they were made of into new efficient designs. The problem in construction is labor. Nobody wants to pay someone the amount of time it takes to handle the material responsibly.

This is an important part of the work before us to achieve a sustainable society. I wish the writer had included the names of the firms involved with designing this changeover.

@htl – Efficiency in the future is the most important feature.

Trying to reuse old equipment is very difficult when efficiency is taken into account. An old plant/buildings would be even worse.

this has always amazed me that governments and companies choose to build new facilities instead of reusing the one they already have. What a waste. Anytime we see pork being spent to build a new facility instead of retro fitting one, we should let our voices be heard!

great job in reusing what we have!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
