A Look Back at Secretary Chu’s Enormous Impact on Energy Savings

Author: Andrew deLaski With Congress about to confirm Ernie Moniz as the nation’s new Energy Secretary, it’s a good time to take a look back on what his predecessor, Steven Chu, accomplished with new appliance, equipment and lighting efficiency standards. In brief, he accomplished a lot. But not as much as he might have if he’d had better backing from the White House. Let’s start with the hard numbers. Taking into account products sold between now and 2035, new efficiency standards adopted during Chu’s four-year stint will net U.S. consumers and businesses more than $100 billion in savings. The Energy saved by these new standards will be about enough to power the entire U.S. economy—all of our buildings, industries, homes, cars, and trucks—for about four months. Chu had a fertile field with which to work. Congress, recognizing the enormous Energy-saving benefits from existing efficiency standards, charged DOE with developing many new standards as part of Energy laws enacted in 2005 and 2007. In addition, Secretary Chu’s immediate predecessor at the Department of Energy (DOE), Sam Bodman, prompted by litigation and Congressional oversight, committed the agency to catch up on 22 missed deadlines for updates to existing standards, some stretching back to the mid-1990s. Empowered by President Obama, who issued an executive order just days after taking office directing DOE to meet and beat all its legal deadlines for new standards, Chu se ...

Best Wishes to Secretary Chu from the Clean and Safe Energy Coalition

This past Monday marked Dr. Steven Chu’s final day as Secretary of Energy. As the longest-serving DOE Secretary in the 35-year history of the Department, Dr. Chu leaves an impressive legacy . As the first nuclear scientist to serve in the position, Dr. Chu has overseen unprecedented investment in clean Energy technologies and new initiatives to create jobs in the Energy sector. CASEnergy Coalition wants to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Chu for his work over the last four years and congratulate him on his contribution to Energy diversification. Most notably, Chu led the DOE through the approval of Combined Operating Licenses (COLs) for new nuclear reactors in Georgia and South Carolina, the first time licenses were granted for new nuclear facilities since 1978. Now under construction, these facilities represent the real growth potential for the industry in the coming years as part of our clean Energy future. Dr. Chu’s commitment to sustainable Energy solutions like nuclear has created momentum that we hope will continue in President Obama’s second term. As of this writing, Deputy Energy Secretary Daniel Poneman will step in as interim Energy Secretary while we wait for Dr. Ernest Moniz to finish the nomination process. Dr. Chu will now return to Stanford University to become a professor of sciences and humanities. The CASEnergy Coalition wishes him the best on future endeavors, and thanks him for his service! ...
