There’s a new report out from the Center for American Progress and Energy Resource Management (EnergyRM)
that takes a stab at listing the top states when it comes to policy

co-authors, who include the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, is that
the United States should treat the idea of energy efficiency as another
potential source of power generation.
“Energy efficiency IS energy,” says Bill Campbell, the chair of Energy Resource Management and another report co-author.
The report is being released to help encourage the development of what Reid calls “compact” legislation to help drive energy efficiency efforts across the United States. Since other legislation intended to help American’s innovation in renewable energy keeps getting stalled by old-school political agendas and a lack of bipartisan support, Reid figures that focusing on initiatives that can produce results more quickly might be more fruitful.
