Figure 1-1 Moving the Market

Sales of energy-using products is shown on the y-axis and efficiency is shown on the x-axis. The diagram is a normally-distributed bell curve that shows the sales of energy-using products. The curve is shown as shifting rightward along the x-axis as the mean efficiency increases. The shift is attributable to regulation, fiscal incentives, voluntary programs and information.
