‘American Idol’ Powered by Renewable Energy


This season’s eco-friendly “American Idol” finale used renewable energy to reduce it’s impact on the climate and help pave the way for FOX Television Network to reach it’s goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2010.

As part of Fox’s plan to be more planet friendly, “American Idol’s” two-part season finale was powered by renewable energy. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power provided a combination of solar, wind and hydropower energy for the season finale held at the 7,100-seat Nokia Theatre.

With its solar-powered air conditioner, AquaCell Technologies cooled the air at the “American Idol” season finale VIP Party at the Nokia Theater.
