One-Third for Electric Efficiency Sign-On Letter Papers & Publications
This resource has a file attached to it.
Letter to Senators Kerry, Lieberman and Graham requesting that the climate bill require an investment in energy efficiency equivalent to atleast 1/3 of the value of the total allowance allocation given to electric utilities. Such an efficiency investment will create hundreds of thousands of new jobs retrofitting millions of buildings nationwide, and benefit consumers by lowering electricity costs by billions of dollars. It would also help decrease greenhouse gas emissions and thus reduce the market clearing price of carbon.
Over 300 labor, business, civil rights, community-based, and environmental organizations signed in support of these recommendations.
