  1. Looks like there is a lot of Energy on the committee now.

  2. How much "energy" could be saved by divesting the Park Street School property? How much energy could have been saved by leaving the police department in its old quarters on Main Street? How much energy could be saved by "locking" all thermostats in town buildings at 68 degrees? How much energy could be saved by converting at least part of town operations to an alternative work schedule?

    There are numerous ways of saving energy without spending taxpayer dollars! That should be the first rule of this committee - identifying savings that can be attained without any additional expenditures. Otherwise, this will become just another band of do-gooders intent on feeling good about themselves for inventing ways to SPEND MONEY TO SAVE MONEY in the distant out-years; which by that time will require yet more spending for even more efficient technology with an even more distant payback period.

    In the end, the taxpayer takes it in the end while the do-gooders continue to pat themselves on their backs for their self-proclaimed good work. Such a sham... Such a shame...

  3. Rockingham upgraded the BF street lights to LED. I replaced 315 watts with 66 watts of led. And both of those are good investments.
