Subject: Energy Efficiency and Demand Reduction
Comment:
I'm surprised to not see much discussion of energy efficiency and demand reduction in the workshop, especially since one of California's greenhouse gas reduction strategies involves a significant expansion of electrification. Energy efficiency and demand reduction approaches and technologies are going to be key in reducing the amount of renewable energy necessary to meet demand, and therefore reducing the high capital costs of the clean energy build-out that were discussed earlier. Energy efficiency in particular has a long history of excellent return on investment while also delivering health, comfort, and economic benefits to California citizens. I hope future workshops will discuss efforts that CARB plans to make to expand energy efficiency and demand reduction as part of the Scoping Plan.
