What's the Power of One?

"Power of One" is an initiative to personalize energy conservation across ACC.

As you know, the cost of energy continues to rise with the price of oil, aviation fuel, electricity, and natural gas. At the same time, we are facing fiscal and pressure to reduce operating costs.

Air Combat Command is investing significantly in infrastructure conservation and improvements to achieve Federal, Department of Defense, and Air Force energy reduction goals. To accomplish even more, we want to hear and share your great ideas for conserving energy at a personal level. What if everyone in ACC chose to do one thing every day to help conserve energy? You can be part of the solution. What one thing can you do to help?
