For the past 40 years, governments, utilities, and private companies have developed increasingly efficient appliances for household use governments initiated policies to encourage deployment of these technologies. To credit activities, we improved efficiency electricity in United States, but it has not been enough overcome increasing demand from proliferation electricity‐using devices.
