The Inn Crowd
Today Gregor Barnum and I took the Carbon Shredders message to Valley Innkeepers. We talked about cost savings, having fun and also about looking at collective buying options to save gas and money. Great and enthusiastic response on all counts. And then we started taking about regulations. (Oh here it comes.)
But being the Valley these folks were talking about regulations stopping them from doing actions that could be good. For example, while homeowners are able to install wood boilers, inns and other business were having trouble getting permits to do basically the same thing. Likewise, there seemed to be problems getting small-scale hydro-power permitted. Perhaps these are issues that the energy group should take on. Good topics to look at and discuss.
