Will Wynn is a former two-term mayor of Austin, Texas (2003-2009), as well as chairman of the board of Austin Energy, the 9th largest public power utility in the U.S. Under Wynn’s leadership, Austin dramatically expanded both the requirements and market penetration of its green building program, nationally promoted plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, created the nation’s most aggressive solar rebate program, pushed for substantial upgrades to the International Energy Conservation Code, dramatically increased its renewable energy portfolio, mandated energy audits prior to existing home sales, announced its smart grid initiative, and created its city-wide climate protection program, which Newsweek wrote “…is seen by environmentalists as the country’s most aggressive municipal initiative aimed at reducing greenhouse gases.”
