Energy Efficiency Incentives

Research of existinging incentive schemes
50:50 is an energy policy that can be enacted by any institution from government down to family-size.Its main achievement is that it breaks the old "Energy efficiency is too costly"-argument.
The problem of internalizing the cost of emissions and pollution into the price of the good is in my eyes one of the hardest problems in economics, but nevertheless one that promises to be most rewarding if solutions are found. The idea is quite old, but only recently has it moved into the center of the public eye, most importantly through the European Union's Emission Trading System.
Research of measures to supports an incentive scheme
What is it: One idea that could supplement a 50:50 Policy: Organization of an "Energy Scandal"-yellow press, publicising in-house energy wastage on a publically visable information display. Reports are written in a humerously "scandalous" fashion, as if it were a tabloid report. The information display is fed via MMS, SMS, Email or Bluetooth.
