Clean Power Comes on Strong
Energy Efficiency is Easy and Saves you Money
The cleanest way to meet our electricity needs is by using less of it in the first place. By planning intelligently and using existing technology, we can cut our electricity consumption and slow down the meter. Improving energy efficiency lowers energy bills, eliminates the need for new power plants, increases our energy security, and keeps our environment clean.
We have already seen that energy efficiency works. Today's efficiency standards save as much energy as is used by 6.5 million households. This prevents as much global warming pollution as if we took 25 million cars off the road. And we can do much more with only small improvements.
For example, if every household in the United States switched to Energy Star light fixtures, we could prevent 50 million tons of global warming pollution per year, which would be equivalent to taking another 10 million cars off the road. Everyone can take personal responsibility to make sure our homes, businesses, and appliances are as efficient as possible.
Find out how you can use energy efficiency in your home to save you money and curb global warming!
