Knoxville In Quarterfinals For Energy Prize

http://guep.org/themes/front_sm/images/home-innovation.jpg

Knoxville has advanced to the quarterfinals in a competition for an energy prize.

Knoxville is one of several cities competing for the Georgetown University Energy Prize (GUEP), a $5 million award used to help reduce energy use.

Knoxville city officials want public input for the next phase of the competition:  City leaders will create a plan to reduce energy consumption in residential and city buildings.

Chattanooga is also in the competition.
