State level changes in energy intensity and their national implications / Mark Bernstein ... [et al.] ; prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy.

The 2001 National Energy Policy calls for continued reductions in energy intensity (energy consumption per dollar of gross economic output). This study was part of an effort to identify state-level factors that may contribute to efficient energy use nationwide. The authors examined changes in energy...
