Vatican Goes Solar

Vatican unveils ambitious solar energy plans from Reuters. The goal is by 2020 to have solar be 20% of it's solar needs. Nice symbolism, and since the system was donated it is not taking away money from other social activities. I would suggest having the Catholic Church overall use more solar, but from a financial viewpoint at this time it's probably not the best use of their resources. Especially since for example so many US diocese are cash strapped due to law suites and there may be better short term uses for the money (such as the amazing Catholic Schools).
