“What is really interesting is it is almost as if the private sector is way ahead of the curve in regards to the policymakers in Congress and with the administration because they are already starting to invest in a lot of this technology. They are already trying to build more energy-efficient buildings because they know that that is going to be a plus on the bottom line of their businesses. They also know that it is not a healthy situation to be so dependent on foreign energy sources for our needs. The private sector, I think, is leading the charge and looking for comparable leadership by the policymakers of this country. We just need to dovetail into what a lot of companies are already investing in and what they are already encouraging by their own practices.”
