30% of Boardroom Directors Unconvinced by Energy Efficiency Investment

A recent survey by Siemens today detail how 70% of Companies were embracing investment in Energy Efficiency improvements in their buildings, having seen the evidence that in as little as two years most of them could start making savings and see returns.  However, a hardcore 30% of boardroom directors still refuse to budge and are firmly seated in their trenches with a stolid determinism reminiscent of the Spartan warriors in the classic film 300! Although in this case the tide of progress is for good.
The whole of the UK is now set to undergo a dramatic building revamp to bring it closer to its 2050 governmental obligation of reducing our countries carbon emissions by 80%. The Energy Act and its endorsement of packages such as the Green Deal are all in place to help get this process off the ground. It seems to me rather sad, that  even in the face of climate change and the desperate necessitiy to reduce our carbon footprint on the planet, some people, still refuse to accept the facts and try to spurn the inevitable tide of progress. Perhaps its time to take the blinkers off their eyes and the cotton wool out of their ears because whether they like it or not, the world is changing and its not going to wait for them to make up their minds.
