ENERGY EFFICIENCY


Tip of the Month


If you’re expecting guests for holiday festivities, consider giving your heating unit a break. With the oven on and the house packed with people, the temperature will rise on its own. Also make sure it has a clean filter so it can work as efficiently as possible.

o Ann Emerson, CEO of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association


(NRECA), released the following statement in response to the testimony of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Gina McCarthy before the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee in September. McCarthy outlined the Administration’s proposed regulations governing carbon dioxide emissions from new power plants.

“NRECA and its member co- ops are disappointed that the Administration has abandoned its “all-of- the-above” energy strategy and embraced an “all-but-one” approach that restricts the future use of coal to generate affordable electricity. The anticipated regulations will require any new coal-burning facility to capture and store carbon dioxide, a prohibitively expensive technology that is not commercially viable.


“In doing so, the Administration is gambling with the economic well- being of future generations and our nation’s economy. As not-for-profit, consumer-owned utilities, electric co-ops are deeply concerned about maintaining affordable, reliable electricity. It’s worth noting that residents of rural communities already spend more per capita on energy than anywhere else.


“NRECA urges the Administration to reconsider this proposal and focus on working with co-ops to


reduce power plant emissions, increase efficiency and develop affordable new technologies. Together, we can improve both the environment and the quality of life for future generations.”
