## Resource

Jim Goodman, the owner of Bob’s Cabins in Two Harbors, MN has done what I think is very unusual in today’s world. He’s not bulldozing down a quaint getaway but instead restoring it AND building in energy efficiency and renewable energy to make it more affordable for guests to have extended stays. Having worked for most of his life in the energy field, Jim says its about ethics to pursue renewable energy and energy efficiency because it makes economic sense. He calls it the sweet spot…doing good and saving money. Jim's perspective and tactics are things you can incorporate too, in your home or business. Jim was born on the Iron Range, grew up in Two Harbors, MN, and worked at Bob’s Cabins on Lake Superior during high school. He’s a husband and dad, volunteers with the University of Minnesota Extension’s Northeast Regional Sustainable Development Partnership, and loves to bike, hike, and sail. For Bob's Cabins, he's all about progressing its operational smoothness through electrification and lowering its carbon footprint.
