Can the US Cut its Energy Use in Half by 2050?
Five years ago, ACEEE found that energy efficiency could reduce projected 2050 US energy use by 40-60%. As a result, ACEEE established a strategic goal to reduce projected 2050 energy use by 50%. We thought it was time to check on our progress and ask whether our goal still seems reasonable. We find that energy use has been stable in recent years, reversing historical growth, a very positive development that is due in significant part to increasing our energy efficiency. But if we want actual de...
Here Comes the Sun: The Falling Price of Solar Power
As concerns about the effects of climate change have increased and the global economy has slowly began to shift away from fossil fuels, investments in solar power have ramped up and led to significant price drops.
