Trevor Daubenspeck, member of the W&M MBA Junto team on Clean Energy, shares the findings of the Institute of Electricty Efficiency in this article. He finds that the energy savings translate to eliminating electricity demand of 9.7 million homes or reducing CO2 emissions by 78 million metric tons.  To the average American consumer, this means realized savings of greater than 3.5 cents per kilowatt-hour consumed.
