چکیده انگلیسی
There is a huge potential for cost-effective investments in energy efficiency throughout all sectors of the U.S. economy: on the order of 46 billion barrels of oil equivalent between now and 2030. This is about 2.5 times bigger than what some have suggested might be available from off-shore drilling. That magnitude of further gains in energy efficiency could generate a significant downward pressure on oil prices, and increase both the resilience and robustness of the American and the international economies-if we choose to encourage those more productive investments. Policy solutions will play a pivotal role in strengthening the continued development, dissemination, and widespread adoption of energy-efficient industrial and transportation technologies and systems. With a focus on transportation systems, this article recommends 10 near-term policy actions that might be undertaken to immediately provide that signal, and more critically, to change the direction of energy usage through increased energy efficiency.
