We have entered a new era of constrained spending, high unemployment and complex political turmoil, yet the question on everyone's mind is simple: How do we create jobs? Surprisingly, the answer is right in front of us. New laws in New York City, San Francisco and other large cities requiring energy performance disclosure for buildings have the potential to become a 21st century engine for job creation and significantly improve the course of America's energy future.
