Here's some good "green government" news out of Sonoma County, Calif.
According to the Press Democrat, "County of Sonoma officials are set to unveil Tuesday a cutting-edge power plant seen as a key project in the effort to slash the county's greenhouse gas emissions and energy costs."
NACo Immediate Past President Valerie Brown is quoted in the article. She was asked if the project was still worth the cost since original energy cost-saving estimates were $80 million and have since been revised to about $40-$50 million.
"Quite honestly, if it was a $5 million savings, it would still be a good investment," said Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Valerie Brown. "It's worth it because you're doing the right thing."
