Thanks, Joe.  After discussing Bulleit's solar panels, the article said, in part, "Other energy-saving measures include Maker’s Mark providing a natural habitat for wildlife near its distillery in Loretto and the Jim Beam facility in Boston, in Nelson County, using an electric demand system to cut their electric bill."

 

I live inside the Beltway and IN WashDC.  We regularly have squirrels, rabbits, and owls, and the occasional fox and sometimes deer, wandering through our neighborhood (not to mention LOTS of kids).  I guess our bushes constitute a natural habitat, and we only use electricity when we need it - ON DEMAND.  How come WE aren't mentioned?  I drink as much bourbon as I can, after all.
