Until only a few years ago, most people didn't give the subject of energy much thought. Now you only need to buy fuel for your vehicle or open a utility bill to understand how important energy usage has become. The decisions we make related to energy will affect the future of our country. Energy and air pollution are bound together and one cannot responsibly talk about one issue without talking about the other.

This section of our website will feature information on topics and developments related to energy, such as alternative fuels for transportation, alternative fueled vehicles, energy efficiency, "green building construction," and emerging energy issues such as electricity generation from wind and solar energy. This section will also include information as it becomes available related to the standard energy sources such as coal-fuel power plants, gasoline and diesel fuel, etc. We'll also keep you up to date with Johnson County Government and what we are doing to change how we use energy. Johnson County is a leader in the metro area on developing ways to improve air quality and we want to practice what we preach.
