Always wondered just what the hell this was supposed to be and finally looked it up:
The Delta is the 1st building in NYC to be 100% powered by solar and utilizes many renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies that significantly decrease it's energy use by more then 75% compared with the average building.
Voltaic Solaire's goal with the project: "If we can develop a building that powers itself, on an unusual triangular lot in one of the most code-heavy cities in the world, our hope is to serve as a model, and inspire other developers around the world to do the same."
You can supposedly
take a tour of it, too.

It's also ugly as sin.
So since this thing will be drawing energy from the sun, it will be affordable right?
Years ago I predicted that with increased use of solar power "the powers that be" (government) would find a way to tax us on the sun. Its just a matter of time for the schiesters in our government to make up some law to fill their pockets.
