=== Energy use === Walt Disney World requires an estimated {{Convert|1|e9kWh|e9MJ|abbr=off}} of electricity annually, costing the company nearly $100 million in annual energy consumption.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Conca |first=James |date=February 21, 2019 |title=Disney World Could Have Gone Nuclear |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2019/02/21/disney-world-could-have-gone-nuclear/#3bed2e3c5393 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190222114723/https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2019/02/21/disney-world-could-have-gone-nuclear/#3bed2e3c5393 |archive-date=February 22, 2019 |access-date=March 7, 2019 |work=Forbes}}</ref> In addition to relying primarily on fossil fuels and nuclear energy from the state's power grid, Walt Disney World has two [[Photovoltaic power station|solar energy facilities]] on property; a {{Convert|22|acre|sqmi km2|adj=on}} [[Mickey Mouse]]-shaped [[solar panel]] farm near EPCOT, and a {{Convert|270|acre|sqmi km2|adj=on}} facility near Disney's Animal Kingdom.<ref name="Forbes Clean Energy">{{Cite news |last=Hiller |first=Jake |date=January 28, 2019 |title=Why Disney World Is Betting On Clean Energy |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/edfenergyexchange/2019/01/28/why-disney-world-is-betting-on-clean-energy/#41dcfc7c6722 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190308081412/https://www.forbes.com/sites/edfenergyexchange/2019/01/28/why-disney-world-is-betting-on-clean-energy/#41dcfc7c6722 |archive-date=March 8, 2019 |access-date=March 7, 2019 |work=Forbes}}</ref> The larger facility produces enough [[solar energy]] to provide electricity to two of the resort's theme parks. The sites are operated by [[Duke Energy]] and the [[Central Florida Tourism Oversight District]], respectively.<ref name="Forbes Clean Energy" /> The entire [[Disney Transport]] bus fleet uses R50 renewable [[diesel fuel]], obtained from used cooking oil and non-consumable [[food waste]] from the resort.<ref name="Forbes Clean Energy" />
