The Local Energy Alliance Program (LEAP) recently selected 10 lucky finalists in their Home Energy Makeover Contest. Each finalist will receive a free home energy performance assessment, and two really lucky finalists will be chosen to win $10,000 home energy makeovers. That decision will be based on a home’s ability to best demonstrate energy savings. Over 1100 people entered the contest, which was sponsored by LEAP as a way to bring awareness to the value of reducing energy consumption.

The finalists from the County are: Estelle Brooks, Chris Reid, Danny Van Clief, Earl Dudley, and Joan Bailey.
And from the City: Larissa Carres, Daniel Ortiz, Jason Payne, Susan Kruse, Melanie Miller

    Should be mandatory.

    What should be mandatory?

    Reducing energy consumption?
    Entering a contest for a prize?
    Conforming to what other people think you should do?
    Being yourself?
    Leaving unclear comments?
    Forcing others to do what you want?

    I think owning a goat should be mandatory.

* People say the darndest things, but language stronger than "darn," insulting words like "stupid," ethnically or racially disparaging language, and comparing people to Hitler usually results in deletion of the comment and may get you blocked from further commenting. Ditto for posting unverified and/or potentially libelous allegations, and even off-topic digression. And to avoid spam, any comment containing more than two weblinks gets eaten by Bigfoot.
