Top Ten Reasons to Go Energy Efficient
If you’re going to waste money, waste it on something more fun than your electric bill.
Using energy efficiency measures alone, the U.S. can go a long way toward rolling its contribution to global climate change back to safe levels.
A new power plant can cost $4 billion to build. Customers foot the bill.
Older, inefficient technology was okay when energy was cheap and its climate impacts unknown. But energy prices are going up and so are average global temperatures.
The faster we burn oil, the lower world reserves get.
Buying oil overseas reduces U.S. political power and wealth. If the U.S. is Superman, overseas oil is kryptonite.
A mine is a terrible thing to waste. Coal production is destructive, dirty, and dangerous.
In many cases, the more efficient products simply work better.
Think of the next generation. Taking care of your house and family means taking care of natural resources.
