Notes: Expanded quote by energy efficiency expert, Amory Lovins:

"Climate change is a problem we do not have to have and it is cheaper not to (have this problem).  I think once people understand climate protection puts money back into your pocket because you do not have to buy all that fuel, the political resistance will melt faster than the glaciers."

The good news is that energy efficiency can make money for you, reduce your expenses over the long term, while saving the planet for your children.

According to the PBS documentary, Earth the Operator's Manual: "Globally, energy efficiency could cut the demand for energy by one third by the year 2030."

Amory Lovins also states: "Energy efficiency is the biggest, cheapest, and fastest way to solve the climate problem, save money, and make a safer, richer, fairer, and cooler world."
