CarbonStop.org is not a solution for everyone and everything. It needs to be “a part of” a comprehensive national plan that addresses our country’s carbon future.
CarbonStop.org’s initial goal is to focus on one part of the carbon consuming market – the single-family home. This goal can be expanded to other market sectors as the future permits. The objective of CarbonStop.org is to make the conversion to low-carbon or net zero carbon lifestyles as easy as possible for the homeowner. CarbonStop will provide families with a “one-stop shopping” experience that assesses their current home and transportation technology needs, and addresses those needs in a low-carbon or net-zero carbon way. This objective is achieved by over-coming the market barriers that block the adoption and use of technologies that stand in the way of the country’s transformation to low or no carbon lifestyles.
The development of the CarbonStop.org approach is difficult, but doable. It requires the commitment and coordination of many stakeholders committed to moving the market toward a low-carbon way of functioning. A trusted neutral party, CarbonStop.org will serve as a non-profit educational and retrofit coordinating organization to systematically address the needs of the decision makers within the single-family housing market. This neutral party approach requires expert knowledge of the low-carbon, net-zero carbon technologies and the ability to incorporate changes into a systematic financially attractive approach. It also requires the establishment of a trade ally network of dedicated contractors working toward the same objective through the well-managed gates of a CarbonStotp.org or a CarbonStop.org-like approach.
Mr. Hall, the provider of this proposed concept, has the experience and the knowledge to accomplish this objective and will do so as a volunteer for up to two years, after which Mr. Hall must turn this successful start-up over to a Board of Directors and dedicated managers and directors who must carry it forward as Mr. Hall moves back into retirement. Mr. Hall has 30+ years of evaluating the success of similar carbon-related systematic approaches to market interventions, and is also the single most published person in the world in this field. Mr. Hall has spent 30+ years working with manufactures and trade allies of energy efficient technologies and has assessed the operations of more energy efficiency programs than any other individual.
