‘Just 4 appliances use up India’s 22% power’

Mark Ginsberg is a senior executive board member of the newly created US Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Board of Directors, and his portfolio includes energy efficiency, renewable energy, and climate change technologies.



One big topic is the emphasis on an Asia-Pacific partnership which was formed a couple of years ago among six countries: India, China, Australia, South Korea, Japan and the US. The emphasis of this partnership is to bring technologies to bear, to help reduce climate change and to reduce energy waste, to increase the use of renewable energy.

If these six countries, which represent an enormous gross domestic product and have a huge energy consumption, can reduce waste and increase energy efficiency, then it will cascade to the rest of the world.
