Following their “Energy Saver” Mission, The US Department of Energy provides energy efficiency and renewable energy information to U.S. consumers, including families, homeowners, renters, and drivers as part of its ENERGY SAVER Program.

According to their own studies, The US Energy Department has concluded that
