Every day we are paying more for energy than we should due to poor insulation, inefficient lights, appliances, and heating and cooling equipment - money we could save by investing in energy efficiency.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Energy-saving technologies keep improving faster than they're applied, so efficiency is an ever larger and cheaper resource.
If we are serious about moving toward energy independence in a cost-effective way, we should invest in solar energy. If we are serious about cutting air and water pollution and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we should invest in solar energy.
Proponents of efficiency standards argue that they save consumers and businesses money, reduce energy use, and reduce emissions. But families and businesses already understand how energy costs impact their lives and make decisions accordingly.
We need to bring sustainable energy to every corner of the globe with technologies like solar energy mini-grids, solar powered lights, and wind turbines.
In 80% of the world, energy will be bought where it is economic. You have to help the rest of the world get energy at a reasonable price.
The more energy-efficient we become as a nation, the less we need to develop additional energy sources.
The more that energy costs, the less economic activity there can be.
We need to invest dramatically in green energy, making solar panels so cheap that everybody wants them. Nobody wanted to buy a computer in 1950, but once they got cheap, everyone bought them.
We should learn to live more with our climate and rely less on electricity to alter our climate.
Today, we're very dependent on cheap energy. We just take it for granted - all the things you have in the house, the way industry works.
