U.S. Enigin Distributors Could Benefit From Lobbyists Actions
The US government’s commitment towards environmental issues has been put into the spot light this week.
The PEERS Group (Program for Energy Efficiency Through Responsible Stimulus), is a grassroots initiative that seeks matching government funds for existing state and utility energy efficiency rebates, the PEERS Committee is headed by the interNational Association of Lighting Management Companies (NALMCO), and they are encouraging, for obvious reasons, the US federal government to direct money towards retrofit of energy efficient devices.
"We are asking the government to direct $16 Billion of the ARRA stimulus act's (The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) nearly $800 Billion to support energy efficiency retrofit programs,” said Jim Frank, President of NALMCO.
Frank added:
“These additional rebates will help business owners retrofit their facilities with energy efficient equipment that will lower utility bills and reduce the cost of doing business.
“The PEERS initiative provides a proven conduit for stimulus dollars to enter the economy, produce measurable results, create jobs, reduce pollution and increase our nation's energy independence."
This stimulus is of interest to all US energy saving businesses, including Enigin Distributors in the states, as they to can benefit from funding that would allow their clients to retrofit energy efficient products.
