I really do agree with the statement. By showing how much your community is spending, you can illustrate the implications of the status quo (energy is expensive and almost none of that money stays locally), and start to create buy-in for revising the building code or exploring the implementation of renewable energy (both of which are time consuming and/or expensive undertakings). Such information can also be used by leaders to argue action is necessary (i.e. we can develop solutions that either save money and/or keep some of that money in the local economy). In short – by publishing community energy expenditures you can set the stage for change.
