What is that sound? AH, I think it is the Winds of Change and Growth for Green and Sustainable Home Building in Houston, Tx! Read through this and let me know if you think this is the case...
Houston has always been known as a hub for Energy and Oil companies. We have companies with offices here from all over the world. Well, on October 4, 2007- Mayor Bill White made a statement in regards to the City making efforts to be more Energy Efficient. He states that they will be using LED Traffic Lights, Energy Star Vending Machines, and many other avenues to save "over $34,000 a year in electricity costs and reduce annual CO 2 emissions by 277 tons."
He then went on to state that "...Our goal is to make Houston the energy conservation capital of the world. It makes good business sense.." and he hopes that other Businesses in Houston will follow.
To read my prediction and personal request to Mayor White, you can read the rest of the story at:

Hi Lisa, Pretty crazy huh?!? :)
Hi Fran, :) I'm trying.
Hi Lisa, It would be nice if the energy companies would subsidize with solar....but I read somewhere that a train car full of coal costs $7. I don't think it would be easy to get them to cut their bottom line. :)
Thanks Dena!!!!!
Hi Ann, I thought so myself. :)
Hi Katerina, it's for real...In that bill were several other items like...the schools have to reduced their usage by 10% (I think on the number...) and many more. It's good stuff. :)
