State, UW to strive for energy efficiency this winter

With heating costs expected to soar by 60 percent this winter, the highest levels of state government are hunting for a solution.

Citing ââ?¬Å?record highââ?¬Â energy prices, Gov. Jim Doyle signed an executive order at the Capitol Monday, ordering all state agencies under his jurisdiction to take steps to reduce energy costs. Following this trend, UW-Madison officials said the school is working toward similar goals.
