Potential of Energy Efficiency
UN Foundation Report
Cooperation and action within G8+5 countries to improve energy efficiency to 2.5% per year (double the global average) would:
Avoid $3 trillion worth of new power generation
Eliminate the same amount of energy supplied by 2,000 coal power plants
Save consumers $500 billion per year by 2030
National Petroleum Council Report 2007
Current available efficiency technology could reduce energy use in the U.S. an additional 15-20%, if applied
