Peer reviewedMakhijani, A. B.; Lichtenberg, A. J. – Environment, 1972
An examination of energy use in the United States shows that much is wasteful, and that the same material standard of living could be maintained with a lower consumption of energy. Recycling of materials, improved transportation, and more efficient heating and cooling systems are major areas of potential improvement. (BL)
