Energy Efficiency Could Offer Major Climate Wins 　抑制全球變暖從能源效率著手

打開文本圖片集

What if the world could quickly slash climate-warming emissions， without having to build so much new renewable energy capacity？

如果世界能夠迅速削減導(dǎo)致氣候變暖的排放量，而不用新建這么多再生能源產(chǎn)能，那會(huì)怎么樣呢？

That’s exactly what some experts say needs to happen， by improving the efficiency of appliances and electricity grids through efforts like plugging leaks and stopping so-called “vampire loads” from devices that pull power from wall sockets even when switched off.

這正是一些專家提出來要做的事，通過堵漏和防止電器所謂的“吸血鬼負(fù)荷”——即便在關(guān)閉時(shí)也從墻上插座消耗電能——等措施，來提高電器與電網(wǎng)的效率。（剩余2855字）
