Renewable Energy....good changes may be on the way!!!

 After an interesting affiliate conference call this week with BPI, the fog is starting to clear from the bay. The DOE, in my opinion, looks as if they're going to award BPI the contract for being the national accreditation body which will pave the way to standardization of the energy auditing and retrofitting industry as some of us know it today. Hopefully, after this gets done a lot more people will fall in line and we can have some uniformity and a consistent message. If we have auditors and weatherization contractors all on the same page, following the same standards then we may finally get on the right path to energy efficiency.
 One thing I can say for sure, it is a positive change for our industry and for once the government just might be getting it right, at least for now. If the DOE does not screw this up and gives BPI the contract along with the 800 pound marketing gorilla, i.e public education by the DOE, then we may have a winner!!!
