EE: Winning the Race towards a Clean Energy Economy A “headstart” on renewables and other climate-related business Global revenues from climate-related businesses rose by 75 percent in 2008 to $530 billion Climate-related business revenue could exceed $2 trillion by 2020 Energy efficiency recorded the highest investment return at 30% Keeping up the pace… Energy efficiency will receive $184 billion (53%) of the $350 billion in global green stimulus funds Source: HSBC Global Research Report, September 2009
40. Now time to deliver on the promises! "Block by block, neighborhood by neighborhood, we will make our communities more energy efficient and help families save money. At the same time, we’ll create thousands of jobs and strengthen our economy.“ - Secretary of Energy Steven Chu Portland OR “[Clean Energy Works Portland] will help move the whole marketplace” - Susan Anderson, Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability “Baltimore boy's asthma improved through retrofit” Energy Empowers Boulder, CO Baltimore, MD The $25 million federal investment is expected to leverage an investment of $180 million in energy upgrades, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 200,000 tons, and generate or retain thousands of green jobs across the region. Boulder County Board of Commissioners Charlotte, NC "If we can tighten up those homes, we can help the American people put their money to better use, and — in doing that — we can put people to work.“ Gil Sperling, DOE EERE

A note about urban infrastructure: the problem doesn't just lie in the energy that gets consumed within city limits. More often than not the bigger environmental issue lies in how resources are transported to the city in the first place (widens the problem beyond city borders)
Passage of EPACT2005 marked beginning of “era of EE”Energy Independence & Security Act (EISA), P. L. 110-140; most sweeping energy bill enacted in over 30 years
The historic numbers (through 2007) come from EIA’s Electric Power Annual report; projected figures come from LBNL’s October 2009 report, “The Shifting Landscape of Ratepayer-funded Energy Efficiency in the U.S.”
