YONKERS, NY — Consumer Reports is offering five tips on how to transform the U.S. from an energy hog to a global energy efficiency leader.
The advice along with seven ideas on how to decrease household energy consumption grew out of a nationwide survey the magazine conducted after recent data showed that U.S. per capita consumption of energy has hit the lowest level in 41 years in 2009, yet Americans still use more energy than people in most other countries."
Why? Because it "(t)urns out that it's harder than it should be" to be energy efficient," the magazine said in reporting on the outcome of its survey of 1,536 U.S. homeowners and crafting the tips from the responses.
