and industrial equipment with energy efficiency information were included along with grant programs for industrial energy efficiency plans.21 The next Energy Policy Act, which became law in 2005, attempted to tackle competing interests like energy security, economic growth, and environmental quality. The EPAct 2005 contained $14.5 billion in tax reductions with $1.3 billion for energy efficiency and conservation measures enacted through new statutory standards, federal action requirements, and incentives for voluntary improvements. While efforts to increase fuel economy standards were defeated, daylight-saving time was extended by almost a month to decrease the amount of energy used for night-time lighting. In an effort to lead by example, congressional facilities were required to expand their energy efficiency capabilities through enhanced measurement and accountability as well as attain a new energy reduction goal of 20 percent by 2015. Continued efforts to increase efficiency of appliances and commercial equipment were included in the bill, along with tax breaks for homeowners making energy conservation improvements. Skeptics of the EPAct 2005 point to $7.5 billion worth of incentives and exemptions for oil and gas producers, as well as an increased focus on coal, as evidence that the legislation was little more than a broad collection of subsidies for already dominant U.S. oil and coal companies.22 The EISA 2007 was signed into law in December of that year. The bill originally sought to cut subsidies to the petroleum industry to promote alternative energies, but those measures were removed because of Senate opposition. The final product emphasized an increase in automobile fuel economy and energy efficiency in lighting and public buildings. To address energy security, the CAFE standards were increased, requiring automakers to boost fleet-wide gas mileage (including light trucks) to 35 mpg by 2020. Energy savings measures revised standards for appliances and lighting, including a 25 percent greater efficiency for light bulbs phased in from 2012 through 2014. The EISA 2007 had new initiatives promoting conservation in buildings and industry, including the use of Energy Star products to provide lighting in federal buildings, and new standards and grants for furthering efficiency in government, public institutions, and small business energy programs. The EISA 2007 also incorporated policies relating to pressing topics like a training program for “green job” workers; new initiatives for highway, sea and railroad infrastructure; and modernization of the electricity grid to improve efficiency.23 While previous laws attempted to save money and lower energy consumption, limited attention has been applied to robust energy conservation and efficiency measures. Whether through general recommendations, concrete incentives, consumer education, or municipally-owned utilities embracing energy conservation, such efforts have recently increased. Recent Trends in Energy Conservation and Efficiency Ideas and recommendations for improving energy conservation and efficiency are increasingly available through groups including: the Alliance to Save Energy, Edison Electric Institute, Energy Future Coalition, and the Natural Resources Defense Council. 89PDF Image | Shaping Energy Technology Transition
