Myth: The United States Lags in Energy Efficiency Angelica Moore

Even Congress fell for this myth and in 2007 passed the Energy Independence and Security Act This bill was 310 pages and the word “efficiency” appeared 331 times and the word “efficient” appeared 111 times. The United States is reducing its carbon intensity because it continues to become more efficient in how it uses energy

Carbon intensity The amount of carbon dioxide per unit of economic output, measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide per $1,000 of GDP The Facts Fell by 42 Percent!

Energy Intensity The amount of energy needed to produce $1 of gross domestic product

Current Trends

Why is this happening? 1)America’s heavy labor has moved overseas. 2)We are making products that are more efficient.

The problem We do see a problem though. “Increasing efficiency merely paves the way for greater energy consumption”. This means that energy efficiency should still be pursued but it will not be the answer to our increasing need for energy.

Summary “Over the past three decades or so, the United States has been as good as or better then nearly every other developed country on Earth at improving its energy efficiency”.

Questions? 1. By what percentage did the US’s Carbon Intensity Fall from ? 2. What was one cause for the change in energy and carbon intensity?
