Synchrony Gives New Ideas On Energy

September 20, 2009

When former Virginia Governor, George Allen, walked through the doors at Synchrony in Salem, he met men who would give him some fresh ideas in energy. He got a tour of the building where workers specialize in magnetic bearings. The products don’t use oil and they help cut down on electricity costs.

It’s something that interests Allen as the Chairman of the American Energy Freedom Center. “Using this magnetic approach, I think, is revolutionary. It will save at least 10% on electricity," said Allen.

Allen said using this technology could save tens of millions of dollars for companies who use a lot of electricity.

In the end, Allen wants the United States to depend on its own energy sources. “We have the coal here in our country; we have the oil and natural gas in our country. We have obviously Synchrony. It’s a prime example of how we have the creative talent in our country,” he said.

Allen explains how energy has a major impact on our success as a country.
