Efficient water heaters will cut pollution, save money, save lives
Many households will save more than $170 each year in energy costs thanks to new water heater efficiency standards.
A new clean energy future is possible, but only if we work together to make it happen.
We can generate the power we need without polluting our air or destroying our climate. It’s time to transition away from polluting fossil fuels and instead choose wind, solar, electric and other clean, safe sources of energy. Momentum is building, and the technology we need in order to transition away from fossil fuels is better and cheaper than ever. Together, we can overcome the industry interests blocking progress and get our leaders to make the investments necessary to achieve a clean energy future.

Wind isn't the only renewable power source that can make our electricity mix cleaner. Electric school buses have the potential to bring even greater benefits when equipped with technology that allows them to deliver power to buildings and back to the grid.
Electric vehicle batteries can serve as a key source of storage for renewable energy. Zero-emission school buses are the perfect application.

In President Joe Biden’s first State of the Union address, he urged Congress to adopt a suite of clean energy tax credits and other environmental programs, saying his plan will “cut energy costs for families an average of $500 a year by combating climate change.”
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a new report on climate impacts in which it warns that “(a)ny further delay in concerted anticipatory global action on adaptation and mitigation will miss a brief and rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a liveable and sustainable future for all.”
