If all households saved just 15% on their energy use...
Industry giants such as Google, Whirlpool, GE, Verizon, Intel, Honeywell, AT&T and others wrote a letter to the President in April 2010 regarding providing all consumers with open access to energy usage information.One excerpt from the letter: "Studies and experience show that when people have access to direct feedback on their electricity use, they can achieve significant savings through simple behavioral changes. Investments in home energy efficiency, along with automating appliances and other devices, can lead to even greater savings. These savings could be substantial when added up: if all U.S. households saved 15% on their energy use by 2020, for example, the greenhouse gas savings would be equivalent to taking 35 million cars off the road and would save consumers $46 billion on their energy bills, or $360 per customer each year."
