1. Open the way fully for third party financing soloutions for renewable energy projects. Current policies do not allow that as only colorado springs utilities is allowed to sell electrictity in town. This does cost the taxpayer no money but would open financing solotions to non profits and residential property owners.

2. create a program in the city which would allow home and building owners to borrow money for energy effciency measures and the repayment of these funds would be done via a property tax assesment. What would that achieve?
a) jobs would be created with HVAV, construction industries, etc.
b) our city would gain a greener image
c would save home and building owners money as most enery effciency measures have a payback below 7 years
d) would not cost the tax payer money as the city or the county would charge their cost of funds plus admin costs to teh borrowers.
e) higher sales tax income for county and city..

a win win for all a greener image which could attract companies at no cost to the tax payer..

but that would take vision and initiative which I fail to spot in our town at teh moment..
