American Report Highlights Energy Efficiency for a Quick Result
The American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy expects there to be a $250 billion market for efficiency upgrades in the commercial and industrial sector over the next decade.
A founding father of energy efficiency policy in the U.S., Art Rosenfeld, is a CalCEF (California Clean Energy Fund) board member and retired Commissioner of the California Energy Commission.
According to Rosenfeld, “Energy efficiency should be the foundation of our clean energy infrastructure."
And according to CEO Hinkle, "The goal is avoiding capital outlay and saving money right out of the gate."
The council also reported during the latter part of 2009 that energy efficiency will boost the economy in the U.S. by creating jobs.
“Energy efficiency may not be as hot a topic as cap-and-trade, but it certainly gets the job done when it comes to saving consumers money and creating jobs,” stated Steven Nadel, ACEEE’s Executive Director and co-author of the report.
