“Energy efficiency is the quickest, least expensive and cleanest way to extend the world’s energy supplies; in other words, it is the first resource for additional energy capacity.
Investments in efficiency could reduce U.S. electricity use in 2020 by about 2,900 billion kWh. A reduction of this scale is equivalent to 70 percent of the nation’s current annual electricity consumption, according to the Clean Energy Blueprint study prepared by the Union of Concerned Scientists.
It has been said that our nation has “Saudi Arabia-sized oil reserves right under our feet through energy efficiency.” Instead of using heavy machinery, our efficiency resource can be tapped by drilling into the ample reserves of the nation’s innovators, technology developers and skilled workers. Extracting this efficiency resource will yield additional benefits by improving environmental quality and creating employment opportunities for workers across industry sectors at all levels.”
