The Long-Term Energy Efficiency Potential: What the Evidence Suggests

The U.S. economy has tripled in size since 1970 and three-quarters of the new demand for energy comes from an amazing variety of advances in energy efficiency—not from other energy supplies. Going forward, the current economic recovery, and our future economic prosperity, will depend much more on energy-efficient behaviors and investments than we’ve seen in the last 40 years. In this report we outline three scenarios under which the U.S. could either continue along its current path, or by which we might encourage a greater level of productive investments in energy efficiency so that by the year 2050, we can reduce overall energy consumption by 40 to 60 percent. The savings would benefit all parts of the economy including the residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation sectors. These savings come from many current and advanced technologies but also from improved...

Learn how investments in energy efficiency may make it that by 2050, we can reduce energy consumption by 40-60% [link]

Since 1970, the U.S. economy has tripled; in that time, 3/4 of the demand for new energy has been met with efficiency. [link]

The U.S. is better off “thinking big” about energy efficiency with a net gain of 2 million jobs while saving billions. [link]

ACEEE says the US is better of thinking big about energy efficiency, rather than develop renewables. Not surprising. [link]
