On the Irish Coast, Alternative Energy From the Town Up. By Karen Freeman, NYTimes, April 9, 2008. "The goal [in Dundalk, Ireland] is innovation on a local scale, developing clean energy sources and reducing energy demand in a 1.5-square-mile site called a Sustainable Energy Zone. The project is part of an EU program to encourage pilot projects that can be scaled up to regional or national levels. Dundalk is working with two other towns, in Austria and Switzerland, on a total budget of about $40 million, said Aideen O'Hora, the project manager for Sustainable Energy Ireland, the government agency in charge. But the biggest changes are taking place in Dundalk... a town of about 30,000."
