Spotlight
$20 Billion BonanzaBy investing a
total of $17 billion in best practice
utility energy efficiency programs, the
Southwest region could realize $37 billion
in utility system and public health benefits
--meaning $20 billion in net benefits or
$2650 for every household in the region
today.
2013 Legislative Activity
State-level legislation can be an excellent tool for advancing energy efficiency. SWEEP actively engages in the legislative process in all the southwest states, with efforts ranging from researching and writing bill language, to building coalitions in support of energy efficiency legislation, to testifying at committee hearings.
Transportation Fuels for Colorado's Future
SWEEP report finds that electricity will be Colorado's cleanest vehicle fuel by 2020. As existing state policies improve the electric grid, the plug-in electric vehicle will quickly accelerate past gasoline and CNG as the cleanest car.
