Times Square to get its first green billboard

This winter, New Year's Eve revelers will have a close-up view of Times Square's first environmentally friendly billboard powered entirely by wind and sun.

The eco-friendly billboard will be installed above the Chase sign at 7th Avenue and 42nd Street.

The billboard, seen in the rendering above, will have four 45-foot stacks of wind turbines to power it.

The billboard will not be quite as dazzling as some of its high-powered neighbors along the Great White Way, but it will be more eco-friendly.
