Most if not all construction sites have a generator running to power the site. On new SF home construction the amount of gasoline used during the construction phase is about 100-150 gallons. Are LEED points awarded for using a renewable energy source to power the site, thus reducing the amount of embodied energy.

Jody, construction activity like powering a generator would not typically be in the scope of this credit or most other LEED credits, but you should check out the clean construction pilot credit.
