''Improving energy efficiency in the buildings-and-appliances and industrial sectors could (assuming
substantial barriers can be addressed) offset some 85 percent of the projected incremental demand for
electricity in 2030, largely negating the need for the incremental coal-fired power plants assumed in the
government reference case.''
