WASHINGTON — Energy efficiency and renewable energy are key components of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Clean Power Plan, noted Gina McCarthy, EPA administrator, in highlighting the proposal in her keynote speech at the 2014 Energy Efficiency Forum, the 25th anniversary of the event sponsored by Johnson Controls Inc. and the U.S. Energy Association.
“Let’s talk about why waste is wasteful,” began McCarthy. “Can we all agree at least with that?” she joked.
