In the wake of the DOE announcement, I got to serve on a panel discussing PACE (property assessed clean energy) at Pace Law School.  A core point, was that the Long Island Green Homes program developed a leading edge benefit assessed clean energy prescription which is, essentially, the BACE for PACE.  By billing the obligation for retrofits as a benefit assessment, assignment to the property tax only occurs in cases of delinquency, thus avoiding that onerous 4-letter word 'tax'.  The benefit assessment, affirmed by the Revenue Act of 1933, is a venerable municipal mechanism well constituted to withstand challenge.

From there it was up to Yale to speak about "Best Practicves and Local-level Leadership for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy."  The sessions that included panelists from New York City, Seattle, India and China was filmed for dissemination throughout the world by the US Department of State.  Later that afternoon, Matt Rogers, Senior Advisor to DOE Secretary Chu for Recovery Act Implementation, addressed the gathering at the LEED Platinum-certified Kroon Hall at the School of Forestry and Environmental Sciences.  He described how he had been on the horn with formula grant recipients in the hinterlands cajoling them to get stimulus money out the door.  He also described a crack corps of grant evaluators who were determining the most qualified recipients for competitive funds.  I resisted the impulse to disabuse him of his contention, opting, rather, to praise the relationship his boots on the ground in Babylon had developed with the DOE staffers who had had engaged us so consistanly, spotlighting our progress in three DOE webinars.  We both concurred on how gratifying it was to see a re-energized DOE.

Later, at dinner in Woolsey Hall, I punctuated another Rogers presentation with the suggestion that he use his bully pulpit to get Girl Scouts to sell CFLs instead of transfat cookies.  At the following day's sessions, that rallying cry was echoed a couple of times.  Among those others with whom I had the opportunity to interact, were a couple of Senate staffers and the environmental editor at the Wall Street Journal.  Also got to catch up with the grad students who had me address the "Megawatts on Main Street" series they ran through the Yale School on Business and Environment.  There is no substitue for the caliber of contacts you make in these settings, not to mention the added material for my future self-help best-seller, Five-Minute Friends.
