How Should Governments Encourage Energy Conservation?

In an article posted by The Wall Street Journal, experts were asked about what steps local, state, and federal governments should take to encourage energy conservation. One expert believes that when conservation is spoken about, it tends to be focused obsessively on the costs, while there are no regards for the forgone benefits of reducing consumption. Another expert believes that the governments should fundamentally change the tax structure because the energy choices people make are largely driven by cost.

Iván Martén believes that governments should take it sector by sector and should be setting clear tong-term targets for conservation.  However in order to take these steps one needs to understand the challenges of conservation for each sector. Some interesting facts about energy consumption are that “115 million households and five million commercial buildings in the U.S. consume 42% of the nation’s primary energy and 75% of its electricity. Approximately 30% of this energy is used in heating, ventilation and air conditioning.”

At Gault Energy we strongly believe in reducing our carbon footprint and conserving energy. We want you to realize a savings on your fuel bills- and to help do your part in conservation, which remains the quickest, cheapest, cleanest way to extend our world's energy supplies.

As part of its year-long 150th anniversary celebration, and in keeping with its tradition of giving back to the communities it serves, this spring Westport-based Gault Energy & Stone launched an "Acts of Community" program to honor the many individuals and groups that have become the backbone of our Fairfield County communities. With the help of Wilton resident and Gault Energy Sales Manager, Chris Wood (right) and his family, the company celebrated Independence Day in Wilton by treating 150 children at Wilton's fireworks display to glow in the dark patriotic bracelets, an Act of Community that is especially meaningful to the company whose founder immigrated to America for religious freedom and an honest days pay for an honest days work.

Recent Staples High School graduate Sarah Cooperman, Gault Energy & Stone's 2011-2012 Fairfield County Arctic Ambassador, shared her experience at the Polar Bears International (PBI) Youth Leadership Camp in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada with Westport Public Library polar bear enthusiasts on July 8th.  Cooperman's lively and at times touching presentation included photos she took of endangered ice bears in their natural habitat, a wilderness area known as the Polar Bear Capital of the World. With PBI scientists and teens from all over the world, Cooperman studied the environmental impact of climate change on the polar bear population. As Fairfield County's Arctic Ambassador, Cooperman returned home to promote energy conservation and the small things people can do to reduce their carbon footprint and save the polar bear's icy environment.  In honor of Gault Energy & Stone's 150th anniversary and its 10-year alliance with PBI, the library will host an exhibit titled, "Canary in the Coal Mine: The Plight of the Polar Bear -- and Planet Earth", running August 16-December 1 in the Riverwalk Display Case.
