“The time has arrived for energy efficiencyadvocates and practitioners throughout the country
to begin placing the issue of climate changeat the forefront of their policy arguments
for energy efficiency. [Climate protection is]…a compelling basis for new and more aggressive
energy efficiency policies and programs.”
