A group of clean-energy businesses and environmental advocates has launched a media campaign to convince Georgians to approve a proposal promoting greater energy efficiency in state government.

A constitutional amendment on the Nov. 2 ballot would let the state enter into multi-year contracts to replace aging electrical, heating and cooling and water systems in state buildings.

In a campaign that includes a website and several social networking tools, Taxpayers for Energy Efficiency is pushing the measure as a way to boost the economy while cutting government waste.

“Amendment 4 is a win-win proposal that will … create more than 11,000 jobs and make Georgia a more energy efficient state,” said Jason Rooks, the group’s director and president of Clean Energy Strategies LLC of Avondale Estates.
