This Twitter item leads to a Grist / Climate Desk piece on «Political ideology affects energy - efficiency attitudes and choices,» a fascinating new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that, in part using light bulb choices, shows how polarization over the merits of cutting greenhouse gas emissions appears to torque the behavior of conservatives away from commonsense energy choices.

Rolling back efficiency efforts is also at odds with the findings of a September 2017 energy efficiency potential study completed for the Iowa Utilities Association, which determined that 17 % of electricity use and 15 % of gas use in the state could be saved cost - effectively through efficiency programs over the next decade.

The Clean Power Plan increases natural gas use significantly relative to baseline at the start of Clean Power Plan implementation, but this effect fades over time as renewables and efficiency programs increasingly become the dominant compliance strategies.

NEW YORK — Today Mayor de Blasio announced a suite of new energy efficiency initiatives that will dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from New York City's over one million buildings — of all sizes, types, and uses — and put the City on a pathway to an 80 percent reduction in all emissions by 2050, while creating green jobs and generating energy savings for building owners and tenants.

The relatively short payback periods of many fuel efficiency measures, combined with most trucks being commercially deployed on the road for well over a decade, ensure that fuel efficiency provides greenhouse gas reductions and cost savings for the party paying for fuel.

Mark Krebs is a mechanical engineer by training with over thirty plus years of broad experience managing both natural gas and electricity energy efficiency programs for several major utilities.

Technology such as high efficiency - low emission coal fired power plants are likely the technology or choice for nations — who don't have cheap gas — over the next decade or so.

The company expects energy demand to grow at an average of about 1 % annually over the next three decades — faster than population but much slower than the global economy — with increasing efficiency and a gradual shift toward lower - emission energy sources: Gas increases faster than oil and by more BTUs in total, while coal grows for a while longer but then shrinks back to current levels.

It puts efficiency and renewables front and center, shifting natural gas and other fuels to supporting roles that will shrink over time.

In particular, depending mainly on (i) exactly how much abatement might be required over 2019 - 23, (ii) the amount and availability of combined - cycle gas - turbine (CCGT) generation capacity with the required efficiency levels, and (iii) the evolution of commodity prices between now and 2021, the carbon price required to plug the supply gap could be lower or higher than the levels we have imputed from our modelling of the supply - demand dynamics in the EU - ETS over 2019 - 23, and the fuel - switching price levels implied by current forward curves.

The high efficiency, modular capability and low capital cost reduces cost over conventional nuclear by 30 % making it competitive against gas and coal fired plants.

This is due in large part to state policies encouraging the use of natural gas and renewable resources over coal, as well as the aggressive promotion of energy efficiency.

So, in the case of the United States, for example, those policies that will enable the country to achieve its submitted INDC are: the Clean Power Plan (which will accelerate the shift in many states from coal to natural gas for electricity generation, as well as provide incentives in some states for renewable electricity generation); CAFE (motor vehicle fuel efficiency) standards increasing over time (as already enacted by Congress); appliance efficiency standards moving up over time (as also already enacted by Congress); California's very aggressive climate policy (AB - 32); and the northeast states» Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiatigas for electricity generation, as well as provide incentives in some states for renewable electricity generation); CAFE (motor vehicle fuel efficiency) standards increasing over time (as already enacted by Congress); appliance efficiency standards moving up over time (as also already enacted by Congress); California's very aggressive climate policy (AB - 32); and the northeast states» Regional Greenhouse Gas InitiatiGas Initiative.
