This white paper estimates the net employment and wage impacts of U.S. appliance, equipment, and lighting standards in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. It focuses on the impacts of the standards already in place as of December 2010, most of the standards revisions DOE is now working on and will complete by 2013, and the consensus standards in pending legislation. The white paper builds on the research of Appliance and Equipment Standards: A Moneymaker and Job Creator by breaking the results down on a state-by-state basis and describing the methodology for how those values were determined. Although the estimates made in this study are subject to some uncertainty, they provide a good approximation of the macroeconomic benefits that are driven by U.S. efficiency standards for appliances, equipment, and lighting products in each of the states.
The commonwealth spends almost $11 billion a year buying energy from out of state. Mass Save lowers bills and keeps money at home.
Utility energy efficiency programs have increased investment in low-income households, but significant gaps remain. This report examines spending and savings trends across 48 major U.S. utilities, identifies barriers to expanding low-income programs and highlights policies and program strategies that can improve energy affordability and equitable access to efficiency upgrades.
The United States faces interlocking energy challenges: rising home energy bills and gasoline prices; new demand for electricity from data centers and other loads; high greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels.
Now, a new era of energy efficiency progress in our buildings, transportation, and industry is needed to meet this moment. This wide-ranging study finds a massive opportunity.
The BUILD America 250 Act, advanced by the U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, would eliminate or weaken many programs that help lower transportation …
