Greg Nickels vows to DOUBLE Seattle Conservation Programs

A recent article in the Seattle times indicates that the City of Seattle is getting serious about conservation:

Overlooking the Seahawks' field, Seattle City Light officials and Mayor Greg Nickels announced a $185 million plan Wednesday to double the city's energy conservation over five years -- an amount equal to the annual energy use of 180,000 Seattle homes.

The program, which targets residential and commercial electricity use, could save customers $310 million over that time.

"We are putting our conservation program on steroids," Nickels said.


The plan is available online at http://www.seattle.gov/light/conserve/docs/Conservation_5_Year_Action_Plan.pdf, and focuses on Lighting, HVAC, Industrial Processes and Data Centers.
