Senator Shaheen, Representative Welch, and 50 cosigners send letter to Energy Secretary Granholm and Acting OMB Director Young
In the lead-up to COP26, the SEAD Initiative and partners have launched the Product Efficiency Call to Action, with the goal of doubling the efficiency of four priority products that account for 40% of global energy consumption by 2030.
New analysis from the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the 4E Technology Collaboration Program demonstrates that policies which introduce minimum efficiency performance standards and energy-consumption labelling on appliances and equipment have led to reduced power consumption, lower carbon emissions, and increased cost savings for consumers.
The administration set strong targets for the cost savings and climate pollution reductions it would achieve through efficiency standards. We calculate it is about 85% of the way there—and can finish the job by finalizing pending rules.

Washington, DC—Energy efficiency standards for distribution transformers announced today will significantly reduce energy waste but miss the opportunity of far larger savings.
HB1185 protects Washingtonians from hazardous mercury exposure, while reducing energy demand, utility bills, and CO2 emissions
OLYMPIA – Fluorescent light bulbs, once the energy efficient lighting choice but having since been passed by LED technology, will be on their way out thanks to a new bill (HB1185) passed by the Washington legislature.
