Whether you believe in Global Warming or not!
Let’s ask ourselves some critical questions…..
1. Can we continue to be held hostage by the increasing cost of fuel, set in place by foreign nations?
2. Can Hampton Roads help America reduce its dependency on fossil fuel by utilizing alternative energy products on local military facilities?
3. Will the installation of alternative energy products in this area, promote new job growth and training to support this new industry?
4. Can Hydro, Solar and Wind energy resources be used in a sustainable manner, to reduce utility generated energy costs?
5. Does having Hampton Roads building and thinking “GREEN”, promote a healthy environment for our future?
