They have a large propane generator to provide supplemental power when the 400A service isn't enough, such generators typically do not have advanced pollution control / carbon capture devices attached. This, combined with the design of the building, is evidence their care doesn't extend to action in this instance.

It’s our hope that as the technology and standards improve we’ll be able to eliminate propane from the mix and use a fully electric power base, much of it captured on site from our 11.6 kW array.
