Georgetown University Launches $5 Million USD Challenge For U.S. Communities To Re-Think Energy Use

Earlier this week, the Earth Day Network announced the 'Green Cities' challenge, asking communities worldwide to reduce their dependence on 'dirty' energy - electricity produced using fossil fuels. Now Washington D.C.'s Georgetown University is making the challenge more enticing, with a $5 million USD reward for any U.S. town or city that devises the best program to reduce energy consumption.
