A Way to Cut Inefficiency
 
 
 
ADKCAP is developing 90 Percent Better. Electricity and oil users in the Adirondack who don't make it into the top 90 percent of energy users in their area would get a note from their energy supplier telling them that 90 percent of the people in their community pay a lower bill, and suggesting ways to address their excess uses, including supplying contacts for certified energy auditors.

A new report from Deutsche Bank Group shows how job growth in renewables from green energy polices are happening. The bar on the right shows growth to 100,000 biofuel jobs, an energy source with potential application in the Adirondacks.
