The clean energy pathway won’t cost a penny more than our current energy mix that relies heavily on natural gas, a polluting fossil fuel.
Saving Energy Saves Land and Money!
Using less energy means fewer power plants and decreased energy sprawl – the amount of land needed for clean energy. Every time we retire a natural gas power plant, we cut our carbon emissions and reduce the need for pipelines. Saving energy through greater efficiency can eliminate the need for new power plants and protect… According to an American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) report, New Jersey needs to ramp up energy savings by adopting and enforcing long-term energy efficiency targets. Utilities need performance incentives, and ratepayer dollars intended FOR clean energy programs should be used as intended rather than diverted into the general fund to close budget gaps. What… According to the Department of Energy, of the $2,000 an average household spends on energy annually, $200 – $400 is typically wasted. In its 2009 study, “Unlocking energy efficiency in the US economy,” McKinsey & Company offers a detailed analysis of the energy efficiency potential in non-transportation uses of energy, a thorough assessment of the… What Can New Jersey Do to Promote More Energy Conservation?
