The business of saving energy
How does energy efficiency help Oregon prosper with good jobs? Van Jones, founder of Green For All, explains. See the videos.
Van Jones joined Andrea Durbin in Portland just before the 2011 legislative session began. He spoke to a group of business leaders about the business and economic benefits of supporting energy efficiency measures.
Green jobs as good jobs: Van Jones explains why investing in a trained work force for clean energy jobs makes good sense.
Repowering America: Van Jones explains why utilities and banks should be partners in creating good green jobs for America.
Counting what counts: Van Jones says we need to "count what counts" by thinking of future costs (and savings) of today's decisions.
Green jobs in a tough economy: "We've got to do absolutely everything we can on green jobs -- we can't do half the green jobs strategy, because we don't have three or four other plays as good as green jobs."
Energy performance score: "Can you imagine selling someone a car without telling them miles per gallon? We do that all the time with homes."
"Solar energy is nice, but energy efficiency is the hardest working dollar in American politics."
