Post Carbon: Energy efficiency could transform the South - Juliet Eilperin: "The Georgia Tech-Duke analysis, released Monday, says 'aggressive energy-efficiency initiatives' could keep energy
consumption in the South's residential, commercial and industrial facilities 'from growing over the next twenty years.' That could lead to the retirement of 25 gigawatts of older power plants, and render unnecessary the construction of 49 gigawatts of new power plants.The study also estimates that such measures would generate $2.25 in jobs and economic activity for every $1 spent on making residential, commercial and industrial facilities more energy efficient."
