There are a number of life-cycle-cost effective energy efficiency
measures that could be implemented, including review of appliance
standards nationwide, but including such things as gas-fired
fireplaces - eliminate decorative F.P.s, which are 50% afue, e.g.
50k Btuh input @ 25k output, vs. their certified heating appliance
versions @ 50k & 35k Btuh output.  There's no reason, economically,
let alone Climate change-wise, to delay implementing reductions in
emissions by requiring upgrades in efficiency, whether it's a coal
plant moving to fluidized burning (40% vs. 33%) or by improving
home appliances...  Increase the pace of improvements in
performance of our economy, by keeping our energy $'s here in
efficiency improvements vs. exporting them for buying energy
supplies... Demand-side improvements vs. supply acquisition...
