I'm noticing many small to medium enterprises making a paradigm shift towards green energy. This is a good initiative done by the Volkswagen group and I hope more companies follow this suit rather sooner than later as climate change poses a real threat. Further to this, it also lifts their image post the Dieselgate scam.
