Upending most conventional ideas about energy use and the economy, Invisible Energy shows how expanded efforts toward efficiency-supported by new technologies and governmental regulations-can drastically reduce greenhouse emissions.

Arguing that the economy has been hobbled for the last 35 years by negative climate and energy policies, this book shows how improved efficiencies will promote greater economic growth, not less, providing significant economic benefits both to consumers and a wide range of businesses.

David B. Goldstein has worked on energy efficiency and energy policy since the 1970s. He is energy program co-director for the Natural Resources Defense Council.

Goldstein has been instrumental in the development of energy efficiency standards for new buildings and appliances currently in effect at the regional and national level in the United States, Russia, Kazakhstan, and China.
