A major purpose of Federal energy education, extension, and information activities is to encourage the American people to adopt energy conservation measures and renewable fuel technologies. These energy outreach programs aid in developing consumer capability to make such changes through information and services tailored to communicate why changes in energy consumption behavior are important; the energy efficiency and renewable fuel options available; and associated short- and long-term cost savings. This first annual CPP report represents the initial step in formulating a continuing plan for coordinating Federal energy outreach programs. Major emphasis is given to inventorying existing programs, discussing the requirements for effective coordination, and presenting alternative methods for achieving it. An overview of Federal energy outreach programs is provided in Chapter 1, including the range of services, objectives, and target audiences. Chapter 2 concentrates on a discussion of other factors important to energy outreach program effectiveness, as detailed above. The last chapter concludes the report by discussing coordination of the programs.
