The NGO Climate Solutions, based in Seattle and Olympia, is coming up on its 10 year anniversary. Since nearly its inception, Altus partner Dave Chase, has lent a hand to their efforts assisting in their strategic planning, marketing and whitepaper development. Well ahead of mainstream consciousness, Climate Solutions published their seminal papers in 2000 and 2001 outlining how the Pacific Northwest was/is positioned to lead.
- Accelerating the Clean Energy Revolution: How the Northwest Can Lead
- Poised for Profit: How Clean Energy Can Power the Next High-Tech Job Surge in the Northwest
Chase contributed to two of their later papers that are worth reading if you want to understand how the Smart Grid presents an opportunity for the Northwest. There is $4.3B in the stimulus package.
- Powering Up the Smart Grid:A Northwest Initiative for Job Creation, Energy Security and Clean, Affordable Electricity A Special Report from Climate Solutions
- Securing Idaho’s Energy Future: The Role of Energy Efficiency
