American Idol wants a green finale

microphoneFeeling guilty about scheduling your social life around the upcoming American Idol finale? That guilt can now be off-set by Fox choosing renewable energy to power the two live shows.

This is how they're doing it. The L.A. Department of Water and Power will provide a combo of solar, wind and hydro energy through its Green Power for a Green LA Program.

Going beyond just providing sustainable juice, the Green Power Program will also focus on conserving water and energy and helping the tree population by working with the Million Tree L.A. initiative - a project that aims to see a million trees planted over the next few years.

And to get even more eco-power, a solar panel system from E-Village, Inc. is being installed and then donated to a California school after the May 20th and 21st broadcasts.

These efforts are part of Fox's overall plan to be more planet friendly (despite owning Fox news) and go totally carbon-neutral in a couple of years.

And I resisted making a "they should harness the power of Paula Abdul's craziness" joke. Ah Paula, you just make it so easy.
