Al Gore's ecoenvironmental op-ed
NYTimes
Al issues a call to arms with his five-part plan to repower America with a commitment to producing 100 percent of our electricity from carbon-free sources within 10 years. #4 is a job creation program for architects.
Fourth, we should embark on a nationwide effort to retrofit buildings with better insulation and energy-efficient windows and lighting. Approximately 40 percent of carbon dioxide emissions in the United States come from buildings — and stopping that pollution saves money for homeowners and businesses...
thank you Al for offering us all jobs. Now when can I start?

I love Al Gore, but that sounds more like job creation for contractors and MEP engineers to me.
I'm more excited about the possibilities and implications of a new model for power generation, and new ways of doing large scale transporation.
So me too! What do we do first, Al?
Hardly a job creation program for architects.
Replacing windows and adding insulation is not a job for architects.
