| Summary: | Most government and selected private-sector energy conservation outreach programs are reviewed and summarized, notably those that have features in common with the Energy Extension Service of the U.S. Department of Energy. Expenditures for FY 1978 are tabulated for major government programs, and estimates of per capita expenditures by public and private electric and gas utilities in the field of energy conservation are made. In the ten Energy Extension Service pilot states, funding amounts to $0.69 per capita while utility company conservation efforts average $0.95 per capita. There is an estimated total of $100 million annually spent for energy outreach in FY 1978, in the 10 pilot states (in which 54 million people reside). Of this figure $37 million is being spent by all Federal agencies, of which the Energy Extension Service accounts for approximately $9 million. |
