This landmark work lauds the benefits of decreased energy
consumption, investigating its relationship to public policy and
analyzing its potential billion-dollar benefits to the U.S.
economy. U.S. consumers tend to use energy
indiscriminately-something they may no longer be able to do with
impunity. This game-changing book asserts that reducing energy
consumption should be a frontline strategy to address global
climate change, threats to energy security, and the challenge of
grid reliability. The book supports two bold arguments: that
policies motivating greater investment in high energy efficiency
should be a priority, and that energy efficiency can help the
nation in times of crisis. To make their case for the necessity of
prioritizing demand reduction, the authors examine the policies and
markets operating in a number of leading cities, states, and
nations across the globe to uncover the keys to their success.
These examples show how demand-side strategies can significantly
reduce pollution, cut costs, and make the electric grid more
resilient. The authors explain why these technologies are not
widely adopted and assess the potential savings they can produce.
The book will be an eye-opener for policymakers, energy
professionals, and the public as it demonstrates how cost-effective
demand reduction policies can improve air quality, strengthen
electricity markets, and generate jobs. Addresses broad questions
concerning electricity systems and the economy Documents
innovative, energy-efficiency technologies, practices, and policies
Estimates the achievable cost-effectiveness and economic impact of
energy efficiency in the United States Illustrates a range of
promising strategies for expanding green savings Argues for more
market intelligence, monitoring, and evaluation so that energy,
economic, and climate goals are met Showcases the policy
environments that have enabled energy efficiency to thrive in
leading cities, states, and countries around the world
