Oct. 1, 2008 — On the first day of Energy Awareness Month, DOE launched the Stay Warm, Save Money campaign on the Energy Savers Web site. This educational outreach campaign aims to help consumers save on energy costs during the winter by being more energy efficient. The information focuses on proactive ways to implement simple, cost-effective, energy saving solutions for both homes and businesses. In time, the content of the site will be expanded to include seasonal home energy efficient tips.

The site also supports DOE's work to develop cleaner, more affordable, diverse, reliable, and sustainable energy sources that support the president's goal to slow the growth of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 2025 while meeting increasing energy demands.

"Americans look for tools to help save on energy costs, but also to make our homes and lives more energy efficient — EnergySavers.gov will help us do both," Acting Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy John Mizroch said. "By using energy wisely, every American can tap the cheapest, most abundant, and most reliable source of new energy available—energy wasted every day. EnergySavers.gov is a great resource for simple, low-cost energy efficiency tips that anyone can use."
