The study finds that a modest 14 percent energy savings compared to a baseline projection in the year 2010 means an energy bill savings of $1.2 billion for Colorado ratepayers, a net gain of 8,400 jobs for the Colorado economy, and a reduction of 133,000 tons in critical air pollutants for the benefit of the Colorado environment. The latter figure is equivalent to the air pollution emitted by about 350,000 automobiles.
