Flynn’s Harp: David Allen, executive vice president of McKinstry, says energy conservation deserves focus

David Allen, executive vice president of McKinstry http://www.mckinstry.com/ , a Seattle company that has arguably become the nation’s most visible energy-services firm, says conservation needs to be seen by lawmakers and policymakers as equally important to innovation in reducing the nation’s carbon footprint.

The thing that concerns Allen is that “all the good things coming, like large-scale wind and solar energy, electric cars and all the benefits they’ll deliver won’t happen in our generation. There needs to be a better focus on what we can do now.”

In fact, Allen likens the pursuit of investing in renewable energy and clean-tech ideas as “a little like the dot-com era when money was spent on every possible tech concept, whereas only a few proved worth the investments.”
