Energy. Environment. Economics. All three forces contribute to standard of living and quality of life, and it has been true since the earliest humans learned to make fire and coax crops from the ground. The need to maintain a careful equilibrium among the three has taken on a new urgency in the 21st century. The carbon-based fuels that have fired productivity since the Industrial Age are dwindling in supply, contributing to climate change, and affecting the world economy.

Development of clean, renewable energy sources to replace carbon-based fuels on a massive scale is underway on many fronts. Until these efforts identify means for large-scale production and distribution of alternative energy, efficient use of existing supplies is widely acknowledged as the fastest, cheapest, and cleanest way to meet future energy needs.

Squeezing greater productivity from current energy consumption requires no increase in energy generation. In that way, efficiency costs less and is more readily available than any other form of production. With no increase in emissions, efficiency is also the cleanest source of energy.
