When more is less
Article Abstract:
For several decades the electric utility industry has waged a public information campaign to convince customers of the environmental and financial benefits of energy conservation. Although the industry must continue to develop demand-side management techniques and programs, it must also communicate the message that some equipment, such as electric heat pumps, are more energy efficient and environmentally friendly than comparable fossil-fuel equipment. An effective way of informing the public about the benefits of increased electrification must be sought.

Article Abstract:
Carbon dioxide emissions can be substantially reduced through intelligent electrification, which involves replacing inefficient energy sources with electricity. Benefits derived from electricity-based technologies far outweigh those offered by fossil-fuel technologies, which are considered the primary source of harmful emissions. Aside from efficiency, electricity also permits numerous applications and provides several environmental and economic advantages.
