The U.S. Department of Energy has designated October as Energy Awareness Month.
The 2010 Energy Awareness Month theme is POWERING AMERICA; We're On Target. The theme depicts how, across the nation, Federal agencies continue to zero-in on energy targets to stimulate the economy, lower operating expenses, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and achieve long-term energy and economic security.
The Federal Government is pointing the way toward energy security and renewed economic prosperity. Investments in clean energy technologies are accelerating at an unprecedented pace. Replacing outdated vehicles with fuel-efficient hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles is transforming the Federal fleet and automotive infrastructure; procurement of efficient products is reducing energy demand; constructing, operating, and maintaining high-performance buildings is tapping the power of efficiency and renewables. Collectively, these efforts are expanding industries, creating jobs, and positioning America at the center of a global economy for sustainable energy.
