GreenGov Presidential Award

In Washington, the National Nuclear Security Administration announced that a photovoltaic vehicle created by Sandia National Laboratories of Albuquerque, N.M., has received a 2010 GreenGov Presidential Award. The awards are given to honor exceptional federal civilian and military personnel, agency teams, agency projects and facilities, and agency programs that exemplify President Obama’s charge to lead by example in sustainability. The goal of the Sandia project was to reduce grid-tied energy use, increase renewable energy use and implement solutions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
