James Hansen, an astrophysicist well known for his research in the field of climatology, who helped raise the awareness of climate change to Congress, said, “The real key to preventing climate change is reducing home energy use.”

According to The World Business Council for Sustainable Development, “Energy efficiency is fast becoming one of the defining issues of our time.  It’s time that everyone employed Best Management Practices (BMPs); which are actions everyone can take to reduce our impact on the environment and the conservation resources of water and energy.”  

A recent Rasmussen Environmental poll reported that when it comes to global warming, 47 percent of voters say climate change is primarily caused by long-term planetary trends.  57 percent now say investing in renewable energy sources like solar and wind are the best long-term investment for America. Thirty-one percent say investing in fossil fuels like coal, gas and oil is the way to go, and 50 percent polled believe that exploration for oil, no matter where, should be explored. And 60 percent say finding new sources of energy is more important than reducing the amount of energy Americans now consume. And more than 76 percent of Americans consider themselves environmentalists.
