Produced by Ann Carol Grossman & Randel F. Cole
In the context of concern about climate change and air
pollution related to energy use and production, THE ENERGY
BANK examines the potential of energy efficiency to meet our
nation's energy needs. This program concentrates particularly
on models for efficiency in electricity consumption. It looks
at the Northwest, which pioneered new approaches to conserving
electric power in the 1980s, and the Northeast, currently on
the cutting edge. Successful residential, commercial, and
industrial projects are profiled in case studies.
The program explores the benefits of energy efficiency for
utilities, their customers, and the nation as a whole. It then
considers the role of transportation in energy use, and looks
at some of the prescriptions being offered to make the
transportation sector more efficient. Further it explores the
political and institutional impediments that must be overcome
to realize the benefits of energy efficiency on a national
scale.
