Energy Efficiency Is Good Policy, Good for Economy

I'd have to agree with Sen. Jeanne Shaheene (D-NH): "We should use less energy." The Senator lays out a compelling argument for making our residential and commercial buildings more energy efficient. Not only is the return on investment in energy efficiency quick but it helps to create local jobs that can't be outsourced. We need HVAC experts, window installers, energy auditors, and lighting experts to help teach us the way our buildings consume energy and the way to get them to consume less. Really, energy efficiency is a big win for our economy. And why would you want to waste energy when you don't have too?
