Energy Conservation Code

Here, Here!!! Now if that 'voodoo' economics private capital, with their huge tax cuts, would be stripped from the cold hard hands of those hoarding it we wouldn't have the need to depend on us, the government and the treasury, to either fund or legislate reality while even creating jobs and savings for those who have little!!

Dec. 05, 2010 - From R. Christopher Mathis, president of Mathis Consulting Company, an Asheville-based consulting group that works to improve the efficiency and sustainability of buildings:

The key first step is to adopt an N.C. Energy Conservation Code which would improve the minimum energy efficiency of new construction by 30 percent. {read rest}
