Cellar Ridge – Involved in New HomesTell Personal Story, How I got involved
The building sector uses the most electricity of any sector
Just about half of our energy in btu’s goes to building. 42% is operations.Buildings are the largest contributors to climate change – electricity is generated by coal, coal is the only fossil fuel plentiful enough to cause irreversible climate change.80% of U.S. Electricity CO2 Emissions Come From Coal.76% of This Electricity is Consumed by the Building Sector.Nation’s economy hinges on a healthy building sector – manufacture, installation, maintenance.Locally, Bonneville Dam cannot supply more energy
