Clean Energy—and More—at Tyto Solar
Madison Gas and Electric's (MGE) 6-megawatt Tyto Solar array in Fitchburg, Wis., is the company’s first renewable energy project to use sheep to help control ground cover. A flock of sheep from nearby Wiscovery Farm arrived at the solar facility in July 2024. The grazing sheep help control ground cover during the growing season, maintaining grass and brush in a sustainable way.
Tyto Solar is one of a number of projects to help MGE achieve our industry-leading carbon reduction goals. By 2030, we expect to deliver to MGE customers electricity with 80% fewer carbon emissions, and by 2050, we expect to deliver net-zero carbon electricity.

In Buffalo NY we had 6' of snow sit on our roofs for over 2 weeks with 10 degree lows overnights... Massive Ice Dams built up and Thousands had their hanging gutters tear right off. My Facia Boards and Eves went down with the 2+ feet of ice hanging and $6,000 in repairs. Since then ive been on a quest to Never have that happen again....Between Rafters of a house built in 1900 and Gable Ends being insulated - now that Ridge Vents are in place.

Absolutely LOVE everything about this smart, sustainable collaboration between Wiscovery Farm and MG&E. Nice work, Grace and Beau!
CNG is great. In CA it’s subsidized by gasoline taxes. So it is half the cost. The Green movement is killing off CNG because it’s still combustion and whiles it burns very clean, it still burns. And that means greenhouse gasses in the emissions. Nope it’s going to be EV or you walk. They’re forcing the technology on us instead of letting the marketplace decide which fuel it wants to use.
I love this! Thank you for sharing! 😊
Good
CNG COST JUST AS MUCH AS BIO DEISEL FUEL FUEL,MAYBE ABOUT 4 CENTS CHEAPER
Bull, unless you are getting all of your Bio-Diesel for free....
I love my Volkswagen Caddy 20 Ecofuel that runs on CNG. Very simple to tank and great economy. Good for the environment too.
I saved enough now to buy a dog
this is a really high quality video; nice job!
Thank you very much!
What do Melvin and Trudy typically eat? I imagine mostly Pigeons (Rock Doves). Anything else make up their diet during the nesting season?
Love this! I’m so excited for electric rapid transit coming to Washington. It will make farmer’s market trips a breeze.
Awesome I love that truck better than School bus or the European one and that's the one I would like to drive when I become a firefighter
Were to get cng stations
Locate the nearest cng station
The Revolution Has Begun! Ok...maybe just another small step, but nice to see such steps are indeed being made towards a more sustainable future.
It's so exciting that the EV fast charging station near the Sylvee is powered by renewable sources! I can't wait to try it out 😊 I hope all stations will adopt this model!
Two of the biggest barriers to more widespread adoption of EVs are battery capacity and charging station availability. In the short term, the latter can help address the former, and I think it's fantastic that this fast-charging hub is located just a couple of blocks off the Square. Not only do they serve an area with increasing population density, but also growing visitor appeal, and they nicely complement Madison's focus on alternative transportation modes. In the future, I would like to see mini cafe-style "waiting rooms" so that people who are charging their cars can spend that 20 minutes enjoying a coffee or other beverage if they don't have other browsing or errands to run nearby.
cng is future!
It's a bomb your riding on folks watch all the south American videos of explosion. Don't let these wealthy criminals lie to you
Yeah and where do you fill them up at am I going to have to go 120 miles to find a gas station
Why when I look up cng first thing that pops up is exploding cars
Wtf are you stupid . Psi in your home isn't over 200 psi
If they're so safe why does everyone have to get out of the car while filling up? That should tell you something, not only that but every 3 years you have to get a new tank...
It's like driving in a bomb with no timer
Open Keystone Pipes and MAGA Again. CNG is like driving a motorcycle. Only one accident, and bye bye 👋 wonderful world 🌎
1 billion Indians do not die. Most auto companies are making hydrogen cars.
Im changing to cng when i get a chance
Did you change to CNG?
If you gotta get out of your car and everyone else in the car too kids, pets spouse to get gas ...something outta tell you NO! I JUST HEARD ABOUT THESE CARS TODAY AND WATCHED A CAR EXPLODE , SEVERE DAMAGE. Kept watching more about them. Say No!! It can and will cost you to get one, could even be your life and those you love. Very dangerous and designed to kill
Sicko nasty man she a kid dummy
I work for the county they are running cng I love how they say ow it’s better cheaper cleaner um yea ok first the parts alone will take the savings our vehicles are a year old one has had 4 diffrent valves put in price over 8 thousand you think all these fuels are ok and good every thing has a price and a down fall plus where I live there is no cng stations only the county has it
There's not a single period or comma anywhere. That's one long ass sentence 😂
Surprised this is not talked about more or marketed, especially now with rising fuel prices and big push to reduce emissions.
Gonna put this in my school presentation xx
Such cute chicks and I love the names/meanings.
Back in the 80's Ford built an automobile called the Granada, a nice car for the money. They decided to build two alternative fuel vehicles based on this model, one on CNG and one on LPG for the auto expo in California. They drove the one on LPG to the show from Detroit and put the CNG one on a rail car and sent it by train. they did this because like today there was little to no infrastructure for CNG refueling. I worked for an LPG company at the time, all of our vehicles ran on LPG, vehicles used by management were dual fuel. The city west of us uses a lot of CNG vehicles, they have their own fueling depot which they do allow the public to use, but city vehicles take precedent. CNG is not really practical for the average person unless there is a refueling facility nearby. Even if there is natural gas at your home the installation of a high pressure compressor is very costly. LPG is more readily available than CNG even though it may cost more, I generally found it to be considerably cheaper than gasoline at that time, we sold motor fuel at about 30 % less than gasoline prices at local stations.
what about engine wear and tare?
Can you fill up at your home? Or is the equipment required to do so not feasible, cost wise?
No you need to go to a CNG station.
Dan - Great video. We are very proud to have been a team partner on your project. Look forward to helping you achieve your renewable energy goals and beyond.
A cng & diesel engine needs spark plug?
CNG yes , Diesel no ,when Diesels are converted to work on CNG ( as only monofuel) without injecting minimal portion of diesel fuel ( only for igniting the CNG/ air mixture ) , then they need spark producing ignition system as every other SI ICE, so spark plugs as well .
Are you sale eagel chicks
im sure you'll build it yourself. I made it 2 weeks ago thanks to Avasva website.
Bloom is simply amazing!
Great initiative. There should be more of this happening.
Thank you for making this video. It really helped me.
Amazing video, stunning soundtrack and tasty ice cream! 💯👏🎶🍦 Thank you!💝👍
What about long-term usage on wear & tear on engine components???
Thanks for the question. We recommend contacting a truck dealership to get questions answered on engine performance.
I am no expert on CNG, but I do have quite a bit of knowledge about engines. I would say that in some ways running on CNG would be better for longevity than running on gasoline because natural gas burns a lot cleaner than gasoline, so there won't be the issues with carbon buildup that gasoline engines have. The oil would stay a lot cleaner for this reason too. Also, since CNG is a gas rather than a liquid, it won't wash the engine oil off the cylinder walls like gasoline can, and it also can not dilute the oil like gasoline can. Eliminating carbon deposits, cylinder wash, and oil dilution as well as keeping the oil cleaner are certainly benefits for longevity. As for potential longevity disadvantages, I can't think of any but I would suggest doing your own research. People say that the gasoline lubricates the engine's parts such as valves and rings, but it actually has the complete opposite effect by washing the oil off of the engine's parts.
I had a Honda Civic that ran 200k miles with cng and no problem.
@@diego_charles I have a 2008 CNG civic with 320k miles. I have become concerned with the tank integrity over the years so I stand pretty far away from it when I fill up. Considering the thing takes only $14 to fill up it simply cannot be beat in terms of economy
@@lm7bird680 here in my country, you have to do an anual inspection and a tank integrity test each 5 years. If something abnormal is detected the tank is replaced. The gas tanks here have expiration date of 20 years.
questions, my house is about 1200 SF. what is your advice for me to save $ on power bills between using central heater or using 2 space heaters to heat the house?
Thanks for the question. It's a good one. You will not save money using an electric space heater unless you turn your central heating system down several degrees and use a space heater to warm just a small area. For any electrical device, the cost per hour of use depends on the wattage of the equipment. A typical electric space heater: - Uses 1,500 watts. - Produces 5,120 BTUs of heat per hour. - Costs 20¢ (at $0.130 per kilowatt-hour electric rate) to produce those 5,120 BTUs of heat. A 90% efficient natural gas furnace will cost less than 5¢ to produce that same amount of heat (at $0.80 per therm natural gas rate). Whether you pay $30 or $300 for a space heater, if it uses 1,500 watts, you will get the same amount of heat and pay the same cost per hour of use. Good luck!
thank you so much for advice
One of the best ways to save on heating is taking care of drafty doors & windows. I use blinds + curtains and my place holds heat very well. Even in the winter the heater barely even needs to run to satisfy the thermostat. It may run for a short amount of time at the coldest point of the morning, but it basically holds that heat all day.
Excellent! Glad to see it progressing!
Katy!
This going on for Friday, May 24,25,26 right?
Correct! Hope to see you there!
Amazing video. Lots of good info.
This is a very useful video! I finally balanced my room air flow. We just brought our new house, but the air flow in the second floor is so weak. I half blocked several dampers in the first floor and opened every second floor dampers. And the air flow works much better. Finally have a not cold second floor in the winter. Thank you so much! The only burden right now is the sound. After I strict serveral dampers, the blower sound increased a little bit. But I think, blower do need work harder to send air to our second floor. So the sound is acceptable.
Not a great car to reflect as an Electric Vehicle. It is just a plug-in hybrid car which is only more complicated since it has an electric motor and a gasoline motor. It has all the benefits of both which can be a good transition; with a few disadvantages. I noticed that the family had another car, which makes it surprising that they did not go all EV as a second car.
Thanks for the comment! Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are a great option for people who have to travel for their job or family activities. for example. All-electric vehicles offer many advantages! And more and more drivers are likely to go all electric as longer range vehicles like the Chevy Bolt become available. In the mean time, we want car buyers to know they have choices and it's not one size fits all.
