Interns help companies cut energy use

Twenty-six students from some of the nation’s best business schools have taken on an unusual summer assignment: helping cut corporate America’s energy bills.

They belong to an internship program organized by the Environmental Defense Fund that embeds MBA students with companies that want to use less energy, either to fight global warming or just to save money. The Climate Corps interns – drawn from such schools as Yale, UC Berkeley, Columbia and Michigan – will spend 10 weeks hunting for ways to trim the amount of power their host companies need.
