Energy Efficiency reduces the amount of energy that goes into goods and services. Energy use and costs rise with population growth, industrialization, and higher living standards. Reducing consumption (and waste) holds down emissions of greenhouse gases blamed for climate change. Large efficiency gains are being made in transportation, industry, buildings, home appliances, vehicles, and conservation. Energy efficiency is core to many government policies and private-sector investment decisions.
