We're going to implement a program to "green" the library (which should have been done when it was built). Electronic ballasts in the fluorescent lights, complete the suspended ceiling, replace the lights where indicated, use fans to move the air as much as we can, replace halogen-based spotlight bulbs with fluorsencent ones, etc. There's only a finite amount of electricity available, and Idaho Power will pay a small percentage of the costs. Our big savings will come from lower energy bills.

I can't believe some of the stuff that wasn't done! Like too little insulation and not wrapping the ductwork in insulation -- stuff I knew to do in the '70s. But then, as the Mayor says, the place was built on the cheap.
