Informative Speech April 24‚ 2011 Energy Efficiency There are various sources of energy available for use. However‚ energy is a limited and sparse resource that is not in abundance at all places. There is an ever rising need for more energy‚ but the energy supply and resources are limited. As a result‚ people have to develop means that can enable them to survive with the small amount of energy that is available. The proper and sustainable use of energy is known as energy efficiency. Efficiency is attained
