Posted by: Chelsea W. // Student

For one, you have $2,500 more dollars in your pocket today because of the energy efficiency progress over the last 35 years in the United States. Also, despite gross domestic product (GDP) increasing by 149 percent from 1980 through 2014; energy use only went up 29 percent.
