The one item, encouraged companies to conserve on energy, was in place years ago, in two semi-conductor plants I worked in, so that is not exactly something new. Our office lighting was set to go off with no movement for periods of time, the parking lot was sized small to encourage bus, and bike travel. This happened 10 years ago.This Hynudai plant had state of the art air scrubbing systems, mandated by the state. German made Centrotherm. so that has been under way for two years, and is industry driven.
