Renewable energy guru, Amory Lovins, famously said: “We’d find more energy in the attics of American homes than in all the oil buried in Alaska.” A new report by the Joint Research Center of the European Commission proves his point.

Energy efficiency could become a “niche fuel” for investors, says the report.
