A new report finds 24 states have yet to establish an “energy efficiency resource standard," which has been shown to curb demand, lower costs and reduce emissions.

    Nonsense. Some things have become more efficient - like swapping 60W incandescent bulbs for 9W LEDs.

    Civilization isn’t dying 🤣

      Efficiency is great, but should make energy cheaper, leading to more usage. Again especially with a growing population. Dropping energy usage means costs increased despite efficiency, or they decreased and there was no productive capacity to put that energy to use. Either way it’s bad for the country.
