OECD urges US to use energy more efficiently

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has called on the US to use energy more efficiently in order to safeguard its prosperity while protecting health and preventing some of the damage associated with climate change.

The US’s relatively profligate use of energy came in for particular criticism in a 286-page OECD environmental “report card” for the US published yesterday, because it contrasted with that of other countries that gained more from their energy expenditure.
