Green energy and proponents were elated on Thursday by President-elect Barack Obama’s economic stimulus speech, which asked Congress “to act without delay” to pass legislation that included doubling alternative energy production in the next three years and building a new electricity “smart grid.”
He said he also planned to modernize 75 percent of federal buildings, which would save billions of dollars in the long term, and improve energy efficiency in 2 million homes to save consumers billions on their own energy bills. (From Reuters News)
