New state buildings, renovation of existing buildings, and state vehicles should use the best technology to provide the desired service at the lowest cost. Forcing "alternative fuels", particular building standards, and the "generation of a small amount of energy used" are all guaranteed to increase costs. Regulations forcing higher costs is exactly what this State needs to reduce and eliminate. Let's eliminate this one before it hits our budget and taxpayers.
