Energy efficiency can help keep Texas lights on | Opinion
suggests Texans could reduce energy use by about 19% without sacrificing either comfort or productivity. More than 6 million poorly insulated Texas homes leak heat in the winter and air-conditioned air in the summer. And Texas building codes aren’t designed to protect us from the much hotter summers ahead.
Energy efficiency also makes Texans’ homes more comfortable, healthy and safe. As electricity prices rise due to high natural gas and coal prices, families save money by using less electricity. Lower electricity use during peak hours means fewer expensive power plants are needed to meet the challenges of heat waves, cold snaps and Gulf storms.
It’s long past time for Texas to invest as much effort and money in efficiency and customer savings as we invest in generation and transmission.
