The Department removed an old 1,000
gallon oil tank and replaced it with the new
Bioheat tanks. “Being able to support this
exciting project to transition this location
to a 21st century heating fuel is what the
Bioheat education project is all about,”
said Paul Nazzaro, the National Biodiesel
Board’s petroleum liaison. “It is my hope
that the city continues to learn more about
Bioheat and the positive benefits derived
from its use.”

Increases in energy efficiency should be
a key strategy in achieving carbon emissions
goals, according to joint comments by the
Alliance to Save Energy and the American
Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy
(ACEEE). The groups submitted their com-
ments to the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) in response to the agency’s
forthcoming new standards for existing
power plants.
“This is a very exciting time. Energy
efficiency already helps avoid millions of
tons of pollution every year, but now the
EPA has a huge opportunity to fully unleash
its potential to achieve emissions reduc-
tions while also offering states cost savings,
increased grid reliability, and improved
productivity. As our cleanest and most cost
effective energy resource, we urge the EPA
make efficiency a priority in writing its
new guidelines,” Alliance President Kateri
Callahan said. “Ensuring that efficiency is
included in our air quality strategies is a
critical piece in achieving the Energy 2030
goal to double U.S. energy productivity that
has been endorsed by President Obama and
included in his Climate Action Plan.”
“Improving our nation’s energy effi-
ciency is the cheapest way to cut down on
our greenhouse gas emissions,” said Steven
Nadel, the executive director of ACEEE.
“Consumers are already saving billions
of dollars and creating jobs by slashing
their energy use, while also cutting carbon
dioxide emissions produced from burning
fossil fuels. We know from studies across
the country that we could be saving much
more. So it’s important that EPA designs
its rules on greenhouse gas emissions
from existing power plants in a way that
encourages and uses energy efficiency
by consumers as a compliance strategy,
not just actions at the power plants. We
look forward to working with EPA to use
the power of energy efficiency to address
climate change.”
