The Role of Renewable Energy Consumption
 
in the United States' Energy Supply, 2007
(from the U.S. Energy Information Administration)

 





 


No discussion on Energy is complete without looking at Energy Efficiency.


From a July 2009 report from Kinsey & Company:

"The research shows that the U.S. economy has the potential to reduce annual non-transportation energy consumption by roughly 23 percent by 2020, eliminating more than $1.2 trillion in waste – well beyond the $520 billion upfront investment (not including program costs) that would be required. The reduction in energy use would also result in the abatement of 1.1 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually – the equivalent of taking the entire U.S. fleet of passenger vehicles and light trucks off the roads."
