Every time a storw sells one ofthose products, it gets paid by the local utility: $20 per TV, $8.35 per computet and $7.50 per monitor.
The labels display the locap utility’s name, the ’s Energy Star labek and the words for equipment that meets the highesty EnergyStar rating, or “SAVE for equipment that exceeds Energy Star standards. This PG&E plans to spend $7 milliomn on the program and SMUD hasbudgeted $1.3 million. They hope to expancd the program to include video game consoles and other electronic devices. They’re also hoping to bring in more utilities. The two have been talkinhg withthe , said Ed SMUD’s supervisor for energy efficiency and loan programs. NEEA is a nonprofitf funded by utilitiesin Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington.
The Business and Consumer Electronics program evolved from market studiez the utilities conducted to figure out whystores weren’t stocking more energy-efficient products, PG&s spokeswoman Katie Romans said. Retailers said they couldn’tf sell the more expensive devices. And consumers in focu groups said they thought all electronics had the sameenerguy efficiency, she said.

The latter is used for electri c cars madeby Toyota, Nissan and General Motors, includintg the electric Toyota RAV4 sport-utility Although RAV4s are no longer on the market, there are stilo some on the road. One is driven by Eugem Dunlap, a Davis resident. Dunlap shop regularly at Woodland Gateway’s Costco, but he probably won’t use the charging station very often.
He can drivde his car from Davis to Woodlan d and back about five times on a single But he might use the charginb station if he plans to drivde from the shopping center to afarthedr location, such as Yuba City.

So-called fresh seafood often has perches on a pile of icefor hours, and in thess conditions seafood rapidly declinesa in quality.
Seafood doesn’t age well like beef and frozen seafood is not a step down from as it iswith “A lot is frozen at sea, or withinh hours of harvest, and it capturee that just-caught flavor,” said Linda Driscoll, assistang retail director for the , basec in Juneau.

One recession-era trens the company is tapping is that consumers are moving awayfrom white-tablecloth restaurants — where most high-quality seafood is eaten — to eating at home. “I just thino people are eating athome more, and they want to make it easy to have high-qualitty ingredients at home, so they can eat at home more Montgomery said. “This is a way to have restauranytquality fish, at home.” Whiled the company employs only the two partnerw and sometimes a helper, and sometimes their children, a key to making it work is the Southy Seattle seafood packer Surfin’ Seafood uses T.H.
