Chu is a strong advocate of energy efficiency programs as a way to slow greenhouse gas emissions and create jobs.
The 2009 stimulus law steered billions of dollars into efficiency programs, including $5 billion for low-income home weatherization. Chu has also sped up the department’s appliance efficiency standards program and ramped up enforcement of the standards.
