Californians Among the Most Efficient Energy Consumers in the Country
The state has a legacy of innovative public policies that encourage energy efficiency
SAN FRANCISCO — While California consumes the second largest amount of energy in the nation, it is also one of the most energy-efficient states, according to a new report. Compared to all other states, California ranks among the lowest in the nation for both per capita energy consumption and per capita energy spending.
“Californians are among the most efficient energy users in the nation on a per capita basis,” said F. Noel Perry, founder of the nonpartisan, nonprofit organization Next 10, which commissioned the report.
