Thanks for the article. I think the 'green washing' that is going on now is going to fade away in the not so distant future. As consumers realize just because a business promotes a service or product has 'green' or 'energy efficient' doesn't mean it really is once they 'look under the hood'! Consumers will get wiser so those companies that really want to promote their green products or services (contractors included) will have to back up their claims. Providing stats and research that back up claims will become more and more important.
