Oregon Ranks #4 In State Energy Efficiency.

Key findings from Oct 2011 scorecard are HERE ; Oregon detail is HERE.

Scorecard is based on assessment of state policies:

The Scorecard examines six state energy efficiency policy areas and presents these results in six chapters: (1) utility and public benefits programs and policies; (2) transportation policies; (3) building energy codes; (4) combined heat and power; (5) state government initiatives; and (6) appliance efficiency standards. States can earn up to 50 possible points in these six policy areas combined, with the maximum possible points in each area weighted by the magnitude of its potential energy savings impact.
