Clinton Climate Initiative Aids Mayors in “Greening” America’s Cities
The Clinton Climate Initiative (CCI) is playing an integral part in helping cities implement climate protection programs by providing a purchasing alliance for cities that will make green products more accessible and affordable. The partnership will enable an additional eleven hundred cities to gain access to volume discounts on energy-efficient and clean-energy products and technologies through CCI’s purchasing consortium. Previously, these benefits were available only to the , a group of forty of the world’s largest cities working in concert to fight climate change.
In 2007, efforts by The U. S. Conference of Mayors were critical to Congress passing the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG), which will allocate as much as $2 billion to cities every year for five years. The funds would be used on climate protection initiatives, including energy efficient lighting in residential, commercial and industrial applications. Once the funding is appropriated, cities can work with groups like the CCI to purchase products that will help reduce their carbon footprint.
TCP is proud to be working with the CCI on their new program for U.S. mayors by offering a variety of energy efficient lighting products to cities looking to retrofit existing buildings, or install new energy efficient lighting in new construction.

There’s no better way to make clean energy cheap than to make dirty energy expensive. Global Oil Socialism focuses on keeping oil cheap by taxing the global economy to foot the bill for guns and roses. Nations have no power to change this unfortunate reality. All you need do however, is change yourself.

Yes, sacha, you make a good point – the key to clean energy is changing ourselves. One by one, we can collectively make a huge change in how we do things.
