By investing in energy-efficient technologies, the Commonwealth of Virginia can reduce its electricity needs by 20 percent, cut electric bills by $15 billion by 2025, and create 10,000 new jobs — the equivalent of bringing almost 100 new manufacturing facilities to the state — says a new report by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.
And, oh, by the way, by cutting electricity consumption, Virginia can reduce pollution and, if you think global warming is a big issue, reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Read more in “Energizing Virginia: Efficiency First.”
I don’t have time to dig into the report today, but thought it potentially important enough to post on the blog. Happy reading.
