NEW YORK, New York, May 16, 2007 (ENS) - Former President Bill Clinton today announced the creation of a $5 billion global effort to fight global warming by retrofitting existing buildings with more energy efficient products, thereby reducing the emission of greenhouse gases.

A project of the Clinton Climate Initiative, the program brings together four of the world's largest energy service companies, five of the world's largest banks, and 15 of the world's largest cities to reduce energy consumption in existing buildings.

President Clinton announced the Energy Efficiency Building Retrofit Program at the C40 Large Cities Climate Summit now underway in New York. Mayors from across the United States and around the world are at the summit to strategize on climate change issues.


That's My Lie!!!

Follow the money =

The MONEY goes to GOVERNMENT (studies and cities and universities and institutions and planning sessions and NEW committees....) while the companies get a ready-made excuse to claim they are doing something while 5 billion isn’t enough to insulate even ONE-QUARTER of the steam pipes in NYC, Chicago, MAss, or Philly or Buffalo or Pittsburgh or .....

They’d like us to live in caves while the Clintons build a retirement palace in the Dominican Republic.

retrofitting existing buildings

That sounds like the responsibility of the building owner.

I would love to see someone analyze the LIHEEP records. I’ll bet we spend billions every ear to subsidize the heating of dillapidated substandard housing. Energy analysis would undoubtably show better ways to invest the money, and a housing downturn is an excellent time to condemn ricketty old stuff.

A liberal politician’s idea of free enterprise is to have government create a market that the politician has a business for.

Another reason to spend as much time as possible AWAY from the Hildebeast?

What an opportunity for him. Spending time in all those different cities to make out — er — make OVER (yeah, make OVER, that’s the ticket).

Hey Bill!

On behalf of the Engineering Profession,

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS of chasing women. We’ll take care of designing energy efficient buildings.
