Bill Would Set Penalties for Wasting Energy

Submitted by John Papandrea, Feb 26, 2007 09:10

Wasteful energy practices must certainly be discouraged. Laws currently exist limiting idling vehicles yet the practice is widespread. People must be made to understand that energy conservation/pollution reduction is good for everyone, even if they are not directly paying for the fuel/energy squandered. It is good to see that Gale Brewer has raised this important issue in the NYC Council. The message certainly needs to be amplified by more elected officials.
