Damien Hirst, the world's most expensive living artist, is going green in a major way:
he recently placed an order for Britain's second largest solar panel system. The system will be used to switch his Gloucestershire country home and studios over to total solar power. I can imagine he's got a lot of electricity needs for his entire estate, but I'm wondering if a 310 watt system (enough power to supply electricity to the equivalent of over 150 homes and will account for 2% of the
entire country's solar power) isn't a bit overkill?

i don't think you can call him the world's most expensive artist anymore. the sale of the diamond skull is dubious at best and shouldn't count. after the recent auctions, koons is now widely regarded as the most expensive living artist at auction.

Would that be 310 kilowatts and not 310 watts?
310 watts is good to power five 60W light bulbs :-P

I think you mean kilowatt... 310 watt isn't that much, is it?
