Energy is All Around Us

Energy is everywhere!

Energy  affects every aspect of our lives from public health to national security. It heats and cools our homes and businesses; powers our TVs, laptops and cell phones; and fuels our cars, buses, and planes. Energy turns the wheels of industry and transmits communications around the globe. Energy lights up our world.

Saving energy saves money. It also conserves vital resources, lessens our environmental impact and reduces the nation’s dependence on foreign fuels.

Every little bit counts

With energy demand increasing, it will take a combination of efforts to reduce our consumption. This means using less, using energy more efficiently, and choosing sources of energy wisely – at home, at work, in communities, and in transit.
