Energy Star tax creditsI went looking for news on energy efficiency and found this: Private Investment in Green Sectors tops $2 trillion. This was between 2007 and 2009. There is a bright future in green high-performance buildings, it seems.
Hazel Henderson, D.Sc.Hon., FRSA, former US government technology advisor and president of Ethical Markets Media said, “this new total is remarkable in spite of economic uncertainty. It indicates that the global transition away from the 300-year fossil-fueled Industrial Era is accelerating toward the cleaner, greener, information-rich economies of the 21st century.”
The task ahead is to renovate tens of millions of existing buildings. Not replacing them as we did in the last century. Replacing outdated lighting and HVAC systems, training workers, and reaping the savings. Importing less oil. Using the money saved to spend on things more enjoyable.
