Well said as usual AB. &

The summit agenda is an excellent one, and the six sessions you list are indicative of how big this topic is for even two full days. Those who know me know that my particular passion is the full range of how we communicate--everything from lack of conviction for what we call our industry (is it home performance?) to how we sell homeowners across the kitchen table. We are making awesome progress for sure, but the educational challenge we face to make retrofits ubiquitous remains a big one.

For those attending Baltimore interested in these topics, a group of us will be discussing them informally before and after the formal sessions, most likely in the bar.

Allison,

Allison,

I agree that the "big-picture" stuff is too often overlooked.

Climate change and net-energy decline are generally about as popular to think about as a scary-looking mole on your back.

And the end of growth is simply anathema to oh so many.

Funny how the things we least want to think about are the very things we should be thinking about the most.
