investment in energy research, and maintains a national consensus on the need to reduce energy consumption.15 Denmark recycles waste heat from coal-fired power plants and waste incinerators (as there are no landfills) and uses it for home heating and hot water. Additionally, Denmark emphasizes modes of transportation other than cars, levies self- imposed gasoline and carbon dioxide taxes, and employs vigorous building-and-appliance efficiency standards.16 Germany is not only aiming to improve its energy efficiency by 3 percent a year to meet the EU target of reducing carbon dioxide emissions to 20 percent below 1990 levels by 2020, but they are also proposing a plan to cut emissions by 40 percent in 13 years and to become the most energy-efficient country in the world. Their action plan involves citizens using 11 percent less electricity by 2020, thereby eliminating 40 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Subsidizing Germany’s extensive railway system to promote use of rail over air travel as well as doubling the number of combined heat and power plants (which collect and reuse heat generated in power production instead of releasing it) is also part of their proposed plan. Lastly, the German government has agreed to generate more than 25 percent of its power from environmentally friendly sources, such as wind, solar, and biofuels, by 2020.17 Previous U.S. Energy Efficiency and Conservation Measures The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 was signed into law by President Ford. It contained the earliest energy efficiency measures with the CAFE fuel economy standards, but at its core, it was meant to address the nation’s energy demands through an extension of oil price controls as well as the creation of strategic petroleum reserves.18 The National Energy Act of 1978, signed by President Carter, contained the Conservation Policy Act (NECPA) that addressed the use of fewer nonrenewable natural resources and the increased use of energy efficiencies. The act included the development and implementation of residential and commercial conservation plans that increased the eligibility for weatherization grants, authorized grants for energy audits, required more disclosure of vehicle fuel efficiency, and established energy efficiency standards for certain household appliances. Additionally, the NECPA expanded the industrial energy reporting system to include major energy-consuming industries (those using at least one trillion Btu of energy per year). Finally, the Secretary of Energy was charged with establishing a program to demonstrate solar heating and cooling technology in federal buildings and to promote the use of energy conservation, solar heating/cooling, and other renewable energy sources in federal buildings.19 In 1988, the Federal Energy Management Improvement Act dictated 10 percent improvements in the energy efficiency of new federal buildings and established a task force charged with promoting energy efficiency in federal operations.20 The first Energy Policy Act, signed into law in 1992, directed the Secretary of Energy to establish new energy efficiency standards for buildings.
