How is this for a headline:
Responding to a Trillion-Dollar Call to Retrofit Buildings
Here is some great and positive reading, including a report on reducing energy use in the Empire State Building by 40 %, and seeing a trillion dollar investment in retrofitting buildings into similar savings of money and carbon, while, hopefully, creating a 1000's of new jobs for the green economy.

"The serial entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson brought to life an international need and business opportunity centered on thermally upgrading existing buildings, the world’s biggest users of energy. NYC’s Empire State Building was able to reduce its energy use by 40%, saving ~$400,000/year thanks to a retrofit. Sir Richard founded the “Carbon War Room” based in Washington D.C. to unite international entrepreneurs, business leaders, researchers, policy experts, thinkers, to focus on solutions, not rhetoric, in efforts to tangibly combat climate change while creating 1000’s of “green” jobs.
One game-changer leveraging Sir Richard’s vision is a LEED-rated composite which is many times stronger than concrete but is 80% lighter in weight. Positherm (PT) has ballistic properties, is water-, insect-, hailstone- and hurricane-resistant, but has thermal properties akin in part to NASA Space Shuttle tiles. PT is a multi-billion dollar global economic and environmental opportunity to make a difference..."
