Prior to becoming the Alliance’s executive director, Casey worked for the Gulf Restoration Network and during her time there she gave a TedTalk on the oil industry in Louisiana. Worth a watch! Energy theorist Amory Lovins lays out his ideas on how to end our dependence on oil. In the Gulf hurricanes always seem to bring more than rain and wind and storm surges. They seem to always bring a lot of questions. Certainly, this is true in New Orleans where the aftermath of Isaac has lead to a lot of questions about just how well the lessons of Katrina have (or haven’t) been learned. Here’s a selection of what the media have to say about it.

On July 27th, 2012 the Alliance for Affordable Energy released its Louisiana Solar Leasing report.

Did you know most of the heat entering a home comes through the roof? And that means each summer your energy bills go through the roof!! Your air conditioner works extra hard battling the oppressive summer heat as it tries to keep the indoors comfortable during the day. The radiant heat from the sun that flows through your roof can also, over time, cause structural damage to the roof and even reduce the life expectancy of your air conditioning unit. Luckily, you can do something about it without breaking the bank.
