Energy efficiency policy work doesn’t always make for great conversation at dinner parties. Energy efficiency represents energy and money not wasted, so it’s less tangible than new solar panels or a natural gas well. And much of NEEP’s work is behind the scenes, spread across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states in regulatory proceedings that can be hard to follow, on topics that may not, on the surface, sound very interesting. The energy efficiency policies we follow certainly haven’t captured media attention the way that the future of the Keystone XL pipeline has.

The spring 2013 legislative sessions have once again breezed by!

“The courage to act before it’s too late.” That’s how President Obama framed his address on Tuesday on climate change.

Hallelujah. Finally, we have an American president devoting considerable attention to the topic of climate change and the energy policies that drive it. In his State of the Union address last night, President Obama made very clear that the time has come to act.
