Energy efficiency saves money, creates jobs and helps slow climate change
$168 billion in utility bill savings for American consumers and businesses. 222,000 permanent jobs in construction and other fields. 390 new power plants not constructed. Greenhouse gas emissions reduced, equivalent to taking 48 million cars off the road in 2020.
Join the Campaign for an Energy-Efficient America in urging Congress to enact a national energy efficiency resource standard (EERS), a target that will help utility companies reduce electricity usage by 15 percent and natural gas usage by 10 percent by 2020. Support legislation with EERS provisions. Learn more.
