Department of Energy (DOE) officials have stressed that conservation is the administration's highest priority energy program. Congress has also recognized the need to move the Nation toward greater energy efficiency through the passage of three major pieces of energy conservation legislation. However, a lack of consistent, specific planning and direction from the Federal Government in the energy conservation area has limited the success of the Nation's efforts to conserve energy. The establishment of energy conservation goals and the development of a comprehensive plan is urgently needed for DOE to provide the leadership required to move the Nation toward using energy more efficiently. Although the Department has indicated its agreement with previous GAO recommendations, the Nation still has no clear conservation goals or a comprehensive plan to meet those goals. The lack of such goals and a plan to meet them continues to convey the impression that the Federal Government is taking a leisurely approach to promoting conservation. The development of a comprehensive plan based on long-term goals would send a signal to the public that the Federal Government is seriously committed to energy conservation, and that Federal conservation efforts are a part of a well thought out cohesive national strategy rather than random activities.

A number of statutes and executive orders have established and revised goals directing agencies to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions -- such as carbon dioxide, which results from combustion of fossil fuels and natural processes, among other things -- and increase renewable energy use. This report determines the extent to which: (1) fed. agencies met energy efficiency, greenhouse gas emission, and renewable energy goals in FY 2007; (2) fed. agencies have made progress in each of these areas in the recent past; and (3) six selected agencies are poised to meet energy goals into the future.
