Governor deJongh proclaims Energy Awareness Month in the United States Virgin Islands Gov. John P. deJongh, Jr. has proclaimed October 2007 as "Energy Awareness Month" in the United States Virgin Islands. The intent is to promote territory-wide awareness and implementation of energy conservation and renewable energy alternatives in light of our limited energy resources. The Virgin Islands has the great potential to benefit from the sun, wind, and sea that surround us and to maximize these elements for the production of alternative energy sources. This month has been set aside for residents, energy dealers and community organizations, to recognize the significance and essential importance of energy conservation methods to the quality of our life on earth. The celebration of "Energy Awareness Month" as a nation-wide event, promotes awareness of energy issues, appliance efficiency, environmental protection, and practical sources in renewable energy. |
