Firm Announces Speakers for 7th-Annual Smart Energy Summit Next Week in Austin
New research from Parks Associates shows that the average U.S. broadband household pays $123 per month for electricity and approximately 50% of U.S. broadband households have taken steps to reduce energy consumption, including adjusting thermostats, turning off unused devices, and using CFL or LED lightbulbs.
