Eco Friendly Real Estate Blog: Green Energy NEWS HEADLINES Across the USA

Green Energy NEWS HEADLINES Across the USA

 Sustainable (GREEN) Energy News: I am always "keeping a good-eye-out"  for news about sustainable energy. .. and not only local news from Asheville, but across the USA. 

This week, for example, I've been out exploring around the WWW for green energy news that could be valuable to you.

I am focused on North Carolina Sustainable Energy News. Headlines in the news such as: "Deals in Alternative Energy" and "Green Initiatives Could Bring JOBS"  are so promising!

I've compiled the following list of promising sources for information (see just below) that could be of interest and use to you as they were to me, and I'd like to ask you a question:

Would you kindly add Green Energy NEWS/information from your state? 

(Charlotte Observer) N.C. businesses thrive on renewable energy
(WRAL-TV) 'Cleantech' opportunities will be focus of RTP event
(Charlotte Business Journal) Dragonfly finds deals in alternative energy
(Raleigh News & Observer) Energy: Green initiatives could bring jobs
(Charlotte Observer) Energy: Reward for being green: Cash 
(Rocky Mount Telegram)QVC starts its own green electricity farm

(Greenville Reflector) N.C. needs to prepare for changing climate, ECU report states

(Fayetteville Observer) Outshining conventional electricity 
(Charlotte Observer) Utilities seek stimulus money to improve energy efficiency(Newsweek Magazine) 50: Jim Rogers; The CEO of Duke Energy could make dreams of renewable power a reality.

 

As I mentioned,  I am always interested in news about sustainable energy. ..and not only local news from Asheville, but across the USA. ..so please let me (and all of us) know your news.

Would you kindly add Green Energy NEWS/information from your state?

Posted by Asheville NC Properties of Enduring Excellence about 3 years ago

Thank you for keeping us all updated. There is a lot to do but there is also a lot being done or at least started already.

I am reading Van  Jones' book THE GREEN COLLAR ECONOMY and I recommend it highly. He makes very clear and compelling arguments for moving to a more sustainable lifestyle and pints out how much of that can be accomplished through simple fixes to our built environment. It's amazing what a caulk gun and weatherstripping can do for an exiting home. Add insulation and upgrade windows and doors and by golly we have real savings and if you go hog wild and add energy efficient HVAC systems or solar panels you could match new construction in efficiency at far less real cost.

Thanks for your comment. I am interested in the book you recommend, (" I am reading Van  Jones' book THE GREEN COLLAR ECONOMY and I recommend it highly.)...This gives me an idea...I think I will ask the folks at the ECO-All-Stars Group to send me a reading list  so that we can ail learn...maybe a green book club??

Hi JaneAnne,

Great post! I feel a challenge coming :-)

Even more impressive is the 'Handrafted Survey' for Buyers that you have on your website. I believe you are the first that I have seen that has a questionnaire that addresses green interest. Any chance I can borrow the idea?

Frances~

I worked for almost a year to develop the idea of a focus toward the sustainability and GREEN survey with my programmers. It is an exciting idea, I think, and one I am happy to share.
