Zoom, Other Video Conferencing Services May Have This Downside, Study Says
Zoom and other video conference services may not be as much of an environmentally-friendly alternative to in-person meetings as many people assumed, according to a new study.

The summers were hurting Elmwood Park's Rose Scolaro the most. Her pool was running eight hours a day. Her air conditioning was on continuously. Her utility bill exceeded $600 -- with 90 percent of it going only toward electric. But Scolaro hasn't stressed over her utility bill since early 2017, when she switched to Phoenix Sun Energy, a solar panel installation company run by a pair of Bergen County brothers.
