May 27, 2014: Surveys Reveal Strong US Support for Energy Efficiency
UT Energy Poll and OurEnergyPolicy.org Poll Released at Event at the National Press Club
WASHINGTON — Four out of five American consumers and energy professionals view energy efficiency as a personal priority and at least two out of three believe it could significantly reduce overall energy use if not for political squabbling, two new surveys indicate.
Findings from the separate surveys, conducted by The University of Texas at Austin and the nonprofit OurEnergyPolicy.org, were released during an event at the National Press Club where a panel of leaders in policy, academia, and industry shared ideas and insights on future energy efficiency policy.
