Is Energy Efficiency Good or Bad for Business?

[ptradmin]

If I was to pick the buzzword for 2011, it would have to be "energy efficiency". After all, this was the year the incandescent light bulb died, the year Chevy (sort of) put out an electric car, and the year all those energy efficiency tax credits expired. So is energy efficiency a good thing? Yes... and no. Energy efficiency doesn't exist in a bubble. It's a movement that, when coupled with politics and federal and local mandates, affects the way we do business - both through incentives and taxation & fees. So that means that any time we talk about energy efficiency we have to consider ALL of the aspects. As 2011 slips into the record books, this is a good time to take a look back and evaluate some of the accomplishments - and failures - of energy efficiency initiatives.
