Energy efficiency's great potential

In this webinar, Susan Stratton and Steve Kihm present findings that energy efficiency is justified not only on broad environmental and social policy grounds, but on economic grounds as well.

The Energy Center has conducted its own analysis and reviewed other studies from the Midwest and across the nation, which taken together, consistently show great potential to meet energy needs economically through savings in the residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural sectors.
