Tell the Department of Energy: Prioritize Energy Efficiency!
Target:U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and President Obama Sponsored by:Earthjustice
During the presidential debates, President Obama said energy policy will be a top priority of his administration. One of the most effective ways to cut energy costs, reduce our electricity consumption, and save us all money every month on our utility bills is to adopt the strongest energy efficiency standards for household appliances and commercial products. Energy efficiency is America's first fuel, the fastest, cleanest and cheapest energy source.
The Department of Energy is considering a new standard for fluorescent tube lights and other kinds of light bulbs that over the next three decades will save enough energy to power every household in America for an entire year, and save customers and business over $66 billion.
The final decision comes out in June 2009, but we need to send a strong message now to the DOE and to Obama that energy efficiency must be at the top of our nation's energy priorities.
Tell President-elect Obama and all our government officials that energy efficiency is the fastest, cheapest, cleanest energy source.
