DC Green Scene

U.S. News & World Report’s National Issues Briefing, “Going Green: America’s Cities and the Role of Government,” will evaluate the current relationship between federal, state and local governments over issues in sustainable development and energy efficiency.  The Briefing will consider how the federal government, through stimulus funds and other efforts, are helping states and cities adopt green initiatives and technologies and examine how cities, working with federal agencies, can better convert old-line industries into advanced-energy businesses, encourage green construction and better allocate goods and services that will strengthen prospects for a more sustainable society.  The Briefing will also address how governments at all levels can reduce impediments to free market, or private, efforts to create green buildings and increase energy efficiency.
