The paper outlines a few key strategies for governments that wish to introduce comprehensive in-house energy management programs: government purchasing, guidelines and recommendations, information and training, and finally, life-cycle cost analyses in combination with budget allocations that need no or ...
The first motive, which is somewhat logical though overtly paternalistic, is that people should be forced to buy energy-efficient appliances that cost more to buy but are cheaper to operate, thus presumably saving them money in the long run. The second motive, which is ideological, is that en...
This supports a more sustainable environment at the cost of economic growth, thereby creating a trade-off. In policy terms, this conjecture can be interpreted in the way that economic growth policies and energy policies would be compatible as long as they are aligned with sustainable development ...
