Environment: Louis Simoneau Utilities Turn Their Customers Green, With Envy – NYTimes.com 4 hours ago – Comment – Like Shannon Jiménez, Clare Dibble, roel and 2 other people liked this “Sacramento Municipal Utility District had been trying for years to prod customers into using less energy with tactics like rebates for energy-saving appliances. But the traditional approaches were not meeting the energy reduction goals set by the nonprofit utility’s board. So, in a move that has proved surprisingly effective, the district decided to tap into a time-honored American passion: keeping up with the neighbors. Last April, it began sending out statements to 35,000 randomly selected customers, rating them on their energy use compared with that of neighbors in 100 homes of similar size that used the same heating fuel. The customers were also compared with the 20 neighbors who were especially efficient in saving energy.” – lelapin “As Americans, we are good at entertainment and competition,” Mr. Kelley said. “It’s why on ‘American Idol’ they get 40 million voters. It’s the part of this culture that people really understand, and we should be harnessing it.” – Clare Dibble

wikio: Wikio – MyWikio Economix: By One Measure, 2008 Was a Good Year (New York Times) 6 hours ago – Comment – Like “When measured in terms of financial gyrations and national employment, 2008 was an absolutely terrible year. When measured in terms of production, the United States economy in 2008 was the best in its history. How the economy can reach new production highs at the same time that jobs disappear and its financial system is in chaos? Given that the disease has such strange symptoms — One has to wonder whether the usual remedies are still appropriate.”
