Supplying Energy through Greater Efficiency: The Potential for Conservation in California's Residential Sector

Supplying Energy Through Greater Efficiency: The Potential for Conservation in California's Residential Sector by Alan Meier, JaBérénice Wright, and A. H. Rosenfeld reframes energy conservation as a resource equal in significance to oil, gas, or solar power. Written against the backdrop of the ongoing energy crisis, the study treats conserved energy not as deprivation but as a reserve that can be "extracted" through efficiency investments. By developing a rigorous method for estimating thes...
