The International Energy Agency (IEA) has urged governments to better publicise the benefits of energy efficiency in order to push energy-efficient technologies into the mainstream. Scaling up the use of energy-efficient measures, it said in its latest World Energy Outlook, could postpone by five years that point at which scientists say it will be impossible to avoid dangerous levels of carbon emissions leading to climate change. The IEA added that governments must also work at lowering the costs of energy efficient investments and push regulations that will discourage inefficient ones. Tapping into a vast energy-efficient potential, it said, would not only bring substantial energy security but also economic benefits.
