Silverstein to ABC News:

And when the rest of the World Trade Center is finally finished, it will be a symbol of green engineering. Green office buildings will stand next to the Freedom Tower, set to be America’s tallest building. The tower will be powered by a wind farm, solar panels and energy efficient technology. At the heart will be the memorial; footprints of the original towers surrounded by trees and a visitor center. And a transit hub will infuse natural light to the PATH train platform 60 feet below ground.
