and as our cover story shows you, it's put all of them into one store in evanston, illinois as a retail "science experiment." two wind turbines in the parking lot and 850-solar panels on the roof generate electricity. geothermal technology taps energy sources more than 500 feet into the earth to heat or cool the store, and low energy-consuming leds light the stores nearly 14- thousand square feet. "i read about it. i saw the solar panels. i think that is pretty sweet." walgreens admits, it costs more to install these energy-saving systems. how much more, it won't say. but it hopes the combination pays off later-- cutting operating costs by 20%. the goal---net zero energy. that means it produces more energy than it uses.walgreens plans to sell the excess energy back to the utility. shoppers are informed of all this in placards throughout the store. "this is very nice. this is my favorite walgreens this is where i fill my prescription." "are you more inclined to shop here? yes, because it demonstrates that it's a business that cares." "like any other business, we're trying to reduce our o

you have companies like walgreens up in evanston, illinois, old stomping ground in northwestern university where they are building a net zero store. where they produce, they are producing energy they can consume. geothermal tubes. they have a wind mill they are putting out in front of the store. the attitudes changed where you have businesses doing their own things in these regards because they think it's the right thing to do. >> that is fine. john jerk no problems with that. i don't think anyone has problems with the voluntary cooperation in terms of trying to make the planet cleaner. there is nothing wrong with that. it's when the coercion is apply and government regulation one-size-fits-all is applied to even we have problems with. right? >> yeah. the global warming agenda is economy-sapping delusion that even the biggest advocates don't believe in. look at coastal properties for new york and california. they go up in price and bought by the al gore lovers. i shows how among the biggest supporters nobody buys in to this. >> voting with their feet. there is a politicals a fect this. ton

i live in evanston, wyoming. i'm 24.l school district here in town, and i am half owner of a garage door company. (announcer) the story of how these lovebirds met, changes depending on who's telling the tale. i was out with my girlfriends and decided to go to the gas station. (johnny) we stopped at the gas station to get some munchies on the way back and that's how i met her. (announcer) sounds innocent enough, but, johnny's family spins a slightly more sordid story. johnny said that they met at the bar, and when they met at the bar, he actually went home with her friend. and the next night, he went home with her. pretty much, he got stuck th her, because he knocked her up. (announcer) and vanessa's worst enemy is johnny's stepmother, raz. i'm brandzy, otherwise known as "raz" or satan, depending on who you're speaking to.

i remember actually covering this outbreak with you, shepard, on air, and an f3 went through evanstonana. and the most tornadoes we have seen in november was in 2004 when we had 164 reported. so it happens. >> the extremely violent storms here, high winds. >> yeah, absolutely. that was one of the ingredients with this storm system. it was a classic setup. what we would typically see in the springtime. low pressure that originated out of the rockies, brought a foot of snow. then the cold dry air from canada, and that warm moist air from the south at the surface that gave us the potential for not only twisters but we saw over 500 reports of wind and 40 reports of hail, and our hearts and prayer goes out to those in illinois and indiana that-under really going to remember this outbreak for years to come. >> how could they not? janice, thanks so much. the obamacare web site will be a success when 80% of users can enroll online. that's according to the "washington post" quoting government officials. 26,000 people managed to buy insurance on the federal site in the month of october. meantim

(johnny) we stopped at the gas station to get some munchies on the way back, and that's how i met her. when i first met johnny, he was, kind of, like dirty. you know, he had been working on a house. she was a party girl, at first, i could tell. but, then i started talking to her, and she just started opening up to me. i'd open up to her and we just started talking. and that was pretty much it. (announcer) while johnny and vanessa stick to their perfectly innocent version of how they met, johnny's family seems to have heard a slightly different story. johnny said they met at the bar. and when they met at the bar, he actually went home with her friend. and the next night he went
