Vermonters feel it every time we get an energy bill or fill up at the pump—costs are high and unpredictable. Global markets swing wildly, storms knock out power, and heating our homes in the winter takes a bigger bite out of our paychecks than it used to. 
We can’t control global fuel prices. But we can control how much energy we use. That’s why energy efficiency is the single most powerful, affordable tool we have to keep costs down.
