GRHU Solutions Can Help Government Reduce Costs Immediately
SAN DIEGO, CA–(CRWENEWSWIRE -08/09/11)- GreenHouse Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:GRHU) (”GreenHouse”), a San Diego, California-based integrated energy solutions provider and developer of eco-friendly infrastructure, today announced that the Company believes its current product offerings can benefit from the legislated cost cutting efforts in the Defense budget. The Company is poised to financially benefit from the Department of Defense’s focus on energy saving products and rapidly deployable structures, both of which GreenHouse can offer to the DOD to provide significant cost cutting opportunities compared to the more traditional alternatives the DOD is currently utilizing.
“Fossil fuel is the No. 1 thing we import to Afghanistan, and guarding that fuel is keeping the troops from doing what they were sent there to do…” Quoted Ray Mabus, Secretary of the Navy. The secretary went on to say that he intends to see that 50% of the power for the Navy and Marines comes from renewable energy sources by the year 2020, as outlined in the Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan.
The Company believes the DOD shifting from brick and mortar construction to more rapidly deployable modular energy efficient buildings, like the Rapidly Deployable Unit (RDU) and mandating a push towards energy efficiency in the Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan will drive business directly to them. Overall, the company believes the drive to cut overhead and redundancies in the Department of Defense can be a catalyst for further growth for their government contracting and energy business.
Mr. Mabus continued: “The Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan is the DOD’s Department-wide strategy that lays out its goals and performance expectations for the next decade, establishing the path by which DOD will serve as a model of sustainability for the nation. The Department envisions that the primary path to reaching its sustainability goals will be to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels through energy efficiency and renewable energy. If not addressed the costs can be measured in lost dollars, in reduced mission effectiveness, and in U.S. soldiers’ lives.”
CEO John Galt stated, “We believe the legislation passed uniquely positions GreenHouse to help our country lower spending by offering cost effective solutions across a number of Defense verticals. The importance of the shift towards sustainability carries a much larger significance than just reducing budgets, it will save lives on the battlefield.”
GreenHouse Holdings was awarded a $150 million facility construction contract by a private entity to build various training facilities in Central Florida in June. As this facility continues towards completion, the Company believes the cost saving variables it offers to the DOD will be on display for potential future contracts.
There is also precedent to support GreenHouse’s optimistic outlook on the affect of government spending cuts. Back in 2010 spending cuts by the UK government had a surprising affect on the sustainable construction industry. UK Green Building Council survey showed the “normal” building industry had suffered but the sustainable building sector had grown as a result of the cuts.
