Why are energy efficiency and renewable energy important?

• Environmental Benefits - Clean energy technologies have a much lower impact on our environment than conventional sources such as fossil fuels and nuclear energy. 

• Sustainability - These forms of energy will not run out. Ever. Other energy sources are finite and will one day be depleted. 

• Creation of jobs and economy - Your energy dollars stay in the United States creating jobs and fueling local economies. 

• Energy Security -  We must not be dependant on foreign oil supplies and create our own energy security!
