Who said government can't be effective and reduce spending? The Governor's Energy Office (GEO) and Colorado State University (CSU) are joining forces to help reduce the amount of energy, water, paper, and petroleum use in government buildings across the State of Colorado. I think that we should all be quite ecstatic that our state government is going to save some money and from the looks of this initiative it's going to be a lot of money. If you remember energy efficiency initiatives have the quickest return on investment (ROI). Another interesting offhand comment in the Colorado Energy News article is this little nugget from TJ Deora, director of the GEO:
"Colorado is already positioned to be the first state reporting it's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from statewide operations..."
How cool is that? Colorado will not only save taxpayers money with energy efficiency initiatives, but may also one day report its GHG emissions. I look forward to the progress reports from the GEO and CSU.
Moving toward a more sustainable, renewable, and efficient world.
How do we get there?
I'm glad to see the government's interest in Energy efficiency. I hope that no vested interest is being served in this partnership.
