Saving Energy Pays Off but Measuring Difficult
Energy conservation across the United States appears to pay off in several regions, though measuring the exact impact remains hard. An Associated Press survey shows lower electricity use in November and early December 1973 versus 1972, aided by warmer weather and more customers. Utility groups note declines despite higher totals, while heating oil use also drops 10 to 15 percent in some states, attributed to conservation and efficiency.
