This must be the KoolAid Page for Entitled Obama Voters…they all need a few years in Gitmo to find out what is behind their cannibalization of America. End Maoist and Sorosian interference and invasion…death to Jihad.

End Universal Suffrage for communists, welfare armies and felons. Obama promtes our nation’s enemies and prisoners to Czar roles. What a commie spitBowl.

It will end when they refuse to leave…they will leave.

Apparently 20% unemployement means nothing to surrendaCrats…debate over. End the Insanity and never, never allow these Maoist and Sorosian traitors to return.

Charles: this Executive Order does means ALL and ANY technique to get there qualifies to reduce energy use.

Every company that makes efficiency improvements needs to help out. Contact any government agency with what you do.

Too bad he didn’t also mandate energy storage so solar electricity generated when the sun is shining can also be used when it’s dark. The way it is now, those government buildings will need coal/natural gas fired plants to cycle on and off to keep the lights on. I think the day is coming when we’ll understand that energy storage needs to be integrated with renewables (along with energy efficiency). Without an integrated approach, we will need more fossil fueled capacity to balance out solar/wind.

Note that tankless water heaters may be a good alternative for businesses as well as homes. Pubs, Restaurants, Hotels, Motels, and more, all use TWH’s for the very large cost savings, being able to expense or depreciate the up-front costs. So if you have an in-home business, or you just want to make points with your boss by cutting expenses, keep that in mind.

You are correct, tnrkitect I’d drilled down to the (no date given) summary: “Implementation of the 2030 net-zero-energy building requirement;”

I’ve corrected it.

Your second point is misleading. In reading the actual Executive Order (from here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/assets/documents/2009fedleader_eo_rel.pdf ) It states that: “beginning in 2020 and thereafter, ensuring that all new Federal buildings that enter the planning process are designed to achieve zero-net-energy by 2030;”

So, Net-Zero requirements are set to BEGIN in 2020 (Assuming the president(s) between now and then do not rescind the order.)

Although I applaud this move, it could have been a lot more ambitious, and more in line with what you describe.

The ohs! and ahs! are relief, Russ.

Only someone familiar with the bogged-down morass of our political system now – that prevents any real change happening, can understand.

Using the Executive Order is the perfect way around that lobbyist-clogged bog.

Nice sound bite! Now for the easy part for Obama – for others to do something about it.

I think Obama (forget Biden) is better than McCain/Palin for sure but Obama does announce things to grand fanfare! Kind of like McCain pointed out during the elections.

There have been solar panels of various types on the White House every since Carter – replaced and renewed and added on to.

If you go looking for information on what is happening in energy conservation on European web sites – forget it unless you want to pay.

Info in the US is available to the world – generally free of charge.

The only thing I see done in Europe is talk and blowing money on FIT’s they are now backing off from.

Like normal though, the Cleantechnica groupies are there with all the ohs! and ahs! Not even necessary for many to read the article or think – just clap!
