Building The Economy On Energy Efficiency

When former President Bill Clinton stomped for Hillary's economic plan for the country, he emphasized the importance of energy efficiency in achieving this goal:

Part of the plan to reinvigorate the economy includes major investment in clean energy, Clinton said. The one thing in common among countries with rising incomes and decreasing inequalities, he said, is a commitment to clean energy. That goes hand in hand with job creation by developing biofuels at farms and rural factories and requiring retrofits of all buildings for energy efficiency, he said.

I do agree with this plan because energy efficiency is an important element to consumption reduction and as we consume less of the ills that increases energy efficiency we invigorate the economy.
