- Annual world-wide investment of $170 billion in energy efficiency through 2020 could: cut global growth in energy demand by ½! save $900 billion a year in avoided energy costs dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions Source: The McKinsey Global Institute “ Energy efficiency is the nation’s greatest energy resource—we saved 50 quads in 2007 due to energy efficiency and conservation efforts taken since 1973. This is more energy than we get from any single energy source, including oil.” “ If we tried to run today’s economy without the energy-efficiency improvements that have taken place since 1973, we would need nearly 50% more energy than we use now. This is more than what we get from any single energy source, including oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear power.”
- The good news is that there is a very large opportunity to contain energy demand growth in an economically attractive way. By capturing the potential available from existing technologies with an internal rate of return of 10 percent or more, we could cut global energy demand growth by half or more over the next 15 years. In other words, global energy demand in 2020 would decline by an amount equal to almost 150 percent of the entire US energy consumption today.
- Stats from the Shelton Group’s 2009 EcoPulse Study (published June 2009): Consumer focus groups in Los Angeles and St. Louis Q: Given a choice between your comfort, your convenience, and the environment, which do you most often choose: A: 38.4% said convenience, 35.4% said comfort; 26.3% said the environment Q: Whats the number one reason to participate in energy conservation activities or buy an energy-efficiency product? A: 30.1% said to save money ; 24% to protect the environment; 4% to protect our nation’s economy Shows that consumers don’t “go green” just to save the planet or help the country – money talks! Q: If you thought it was harming the environment, which of the following would you give up? A: 41.5% willing to give up iPod; 38.1 dishwasher; 27.8 microwave; 23.5% not willing to give up ANYTHING to better the environment (other options were cell phone, air conditioning, TV, computer, car)
- The strain on consumers’ wallets helped cause the biggest decline in VMT since the 1970s, pushed consumers to buy more hybrids and fuel-efficient vehicles, to embrace EE
- Energy crisis – why? Spikes in energy prices - From June 2000 through July 2000 wholesale electricity prices increased on average 270 percent over the same period in 1999 Power shortages and rolling blackouts - Stage 3 emergency notifications, which may necessitate rotating blackouts, had increased from 1 in 2000 to 38 through May 22, 2001 Financial instability in major California IOUs - Investment in new power generation capacity did not keep pace with increasing demand for electricity; many independent power generators reluctant to sell power to utilities (PG&E and SCE) because of financial troubles
- BATON ROUGE, LA – December 2008 36% increase in home’s energy efficiency ALBUQUERQUE, NM, February 22, 2007 The home energy-efficiency makeover was performed on a 60-year-old, one-story, four-bedroom, two-bath house located in the Northeast Heights that is owned by Alejandro and Teresa Porath. Materials and labor for the makeover of the Porath family ’s house were provided by a number of local and national companies and agencies. Until the makeover, the Porath family had to rely on the living room fireplace and an outdated, overtaxed heating system. The old windows throughout the house and the sparse insulation did little to keep the cold air out and the warm air inside. The heating and water bills, which combined ranged from $200-300 a month, forced Alejandro to curtail many non-essential expenses, such as Internet access for his son Abraham. Even with such cutbacks, the Poraths struggled to make monthly payments under the local energy company’s payment plan. The donated energy-efficiency improvements will lower the Porath family’s energy bills, while also increasing the family’s indoor comfort. Other donated services will lower their gasoline costs by keeping their vehicles tuned up and well maintained. Washington DC – September 11 2009 – Rebuilding Together event
