"Thoughtfully Positioned to Promote Climate Neutrality"

1.Citing ACUPCC homepage at http://www.presidentsclimatecommitment.org

2. For purposes of the ACUPCC, climate neutrality is defined as having no net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, to be achieved by minimizing GHG emissions as much as possible, and using carbon offsets or other measures to mitigate the remaining emissions.

3. A process by which an industrial facility uses its waste energy to produce heat or electricity (The American Heritage® College Dictionary – Third Edition).

4. There is no available uniform definition of green jobs. Generally, however, such job types seek to positively impact the environment and the planet.

5. Citizens for Affordable Energy seeks to educate citizens and government officials about pragmatic, non-partisan affordable energy solutions, Environmental Protection, energy alternatives, efficiency, infrastructure, public policy, competitiveness, social cohesion and quality of life.

[1] Like the second turbine, this third one is funded by a Clean Renewable Energy Bond, (CREB), a special type of bond issued through the Internal Revenue Service known as a tax credit bond. CREBs deliver an incentive similar to the Production Tax Credit (PTC) by offering an interest-free loan for financing qualified energy projects.

[2] The steam turbine is financed through an Energy Service Contract (ESCO) executed between the University of Minnesota and McKinstry, Inc.—it is the first of its kind to be authorized in the University of Minnesota system. Morris’ ESCO focuses on conservation and combined heat and power efficiencies and features twelve different facilities improvement projects.
