    You might be a bit surprised to hear that the world's largest solar-powered sports facility in the world is a NASCAR track in Pennsylvania. Pocono Raceway, also known as the "Tricky Triangle" flipped the switch on Friday, powering up a 3 MW photovoltaic power plant located on an empty parking lot right next to the raceway. The new system will provide more than enough energy for the entire raceway facility, with the rest being fed back onto the grid to provide enough power for about 1,000 homes nearby....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/largest-solar-powered-sports-facility-in-the-world/'>READ ARTICLE</a>
