Energy Consumption in the US from 1776 - 2017

October is National Energy Awareness Month facilitated by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, part of the US Department of Energy.  From the EERE, 

October marks Energy Awareness Month, and the nation is looking to the federal government to provide leadership in energy management and building optimization, energy resilience and security, and the use of advanced and distributed energy technologies. 

The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) helps agencies meet federal energy efficiency and renewable energy laws and requirements. Agencies are making tremendous progress toward these requirements by implementing energy- and water-management projects throughout the federal government.

Whether these projects are implemented campus-wide or in individual facilities, every action taken by hard-working employees in U.S. defense and civilian agencies contributes toward strengthening the security and resilience of our federal infrastructure."
