Austin and Texas are Looking Green
According to the EPA, the Energy Star program is celebrating reaching the one million mark throughout the nation. Even more exciting news for Texans, 28% of these homes are in the Lone Star State. The country’s fourth biggest city, Houston, tops the list of most Energy Star homes. Also appearing in the top 20 are San Antonio, and at #14, Austin.
Energy Star homes will save an average of $200-$400 this year on utility bills, and $270 million nationwide. They are at least 15% more energy efficient than regular homes and will save 4 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions.

Great. Austin has always been kind of a hip, ahead-of-the-times city, aside from the Texas Legislature, which still lives in the 1940’s.

Howdy there y’all
I’m sure not at all surprised to read that the Grand State of Texas, has 28% of Energy Star Homes in the Nation.
Way to go Texas!
