A recent phone survey conducted by the  National Resources Defense Council found that overall, Ohioans are favorable towards energy efficency.  Some of the interesting findings from the study include:

  • 61 percent in favor of the government setting minimum energy-efficiency standards for household products and appliances.
  • 60 percent approval for Ohio's requiring electric utilities to help their customers use energy-efficiency technologies.
  • 56 percent in favor of the federal government assisting businesses to convert to energy-efficient technologies.
