Mckinsey Study Says Energy Efficiency Measures Similar To Those Performed By Contractors Like Green Collar Operations Would Save $700 Billion

McKinsey says that an energy efficiency push over the next 10 years could save the US Economy $700 BILLION (Yes, Billion) over the next decade.

Although implementing this program would cost roughly $520B to put in place, they estimate that through 2020, 1.2 TRILLION could be saved. This all by implementing measures similar to those that Austin Energy gives rebates on. Not bad, huh?

In the process, efficiency could meet 23% of America's future electricity demand. But in order to get their, overall charges would need to go up by roughly 8%- in order to eventually offset the 24% savings. What does this mean for you? Start looking at the rebates Austin Energy, TXU, Texas Gas and other providers in Central Texas offer for things like Radiant Barrier, Attic Insulation, Weatherization and Duct Sealing.
