Report and video: Portland's innovative energy retrofit program
Today Green For All released a new report and video about an exciting home-weatherization program in Portland, Oregon which can serve as a model for the entire country. Clean Energy Works Portland is an effort that will cut energy bills, create green jobs, reduce pollution and expand business opportunities. In addition, it will ensure that Recovery Act investment dollars reach those hit hardest by the recession. It's not a silver bullet, but it is a great model on which to build an important component of a new clean energy economy.
