2/27/10 -- Austin Energy's general manager, the much revered and very inspiring Roger Duncan, retired yesterday after more than 30 years of public service. During his Austin centric-career Roger achieved world renown in green utility implementation, co-founding one of the world's most progressive energy efficiency programs (dubbed "Energy Star" in the 80's, a name the federal government would later use), co-creating the WORLD'S FIRST green building program (no kidding), and achieving too many other things to list.
In many ways Roger is responsible for motivating people like me to believe we can do more.
And he encourages it. Big thanks to Roger: a great leader and civil servant.
Here's wishing Mr. Duncan and his family a very happy and fulfilling retirement.
