They say there’s no such thing as a free lunch. But 25 years in the energy industry have taught me Canadian companies, large and small, could do a better job of managing their energy.
How come? In my experience, Canadians are not very energy-literate. In the past, energy was regulated by governments and supplied by utilities, sometimes at less than cost. Wasting it wasn’t as costly as it is today. How do Canada’s million-plus businesses get smarter about energy? They can begin by insisting on getting data from their utilities that is easily extracted electronically. In larger firms, senior management can enforce efficiency throughout the organization. Setting up a simple internal process to connect energy use and cost to a trackable measure can engage the entire organization, from operations, to procurement, to finance, IT, maintenance and engineering.
We have seen utility customers unnecessarily paying $10,000 a month and more because they were simply rubber-stamping invoices without analysis. One company identified a problem that was eventually corrected by replacing a faulty fuse in its capacitor bank, which produced annual savings of $200,000. Once operations and finance jointly followed up on clues provided in the firm’s utility bill it was able to cut its monthly cost, improve productivity and defer capital replacement of equipment.
Greta will never be happy! She was born miserable!!
Why would we care about Greta’s opinion?
To hell with making Greta happy, worry about yourself.
Who cares about Greta, she's been captured by idpol: 'It is a crisis of human rights, of justice, and of political will. Colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression have created and fueled it. We need to dismantle them all.'
Who cares whether Greta is happy or not, I live in Canada and we use fossil fuels for heat in the winter and if she has an issue with that...she can go pound salt.
Who the F.... cares what makes Greta happy
Why do we need to make Greta happy!!
Why do any of us have to make a foreign child who doesn’t attend school happy? She interfered in our federal election. Who timed that I wonder? It would take a while to organize marches, travel & speeches doesn’t it? Needs to be preplanned yes?
How to trigger a bunch of red necks.... Mention Greta
Whatever it is...FORGET IT! Nothing can make Greta happy.
Everyone hates her. She can go home
Who cares, she is not even a Canadian.
