CONSUMER PROTECTION ISSUES IN ENERGY: A GUIDE FOR ATTORNEYS GENERAL. INSULATION, SOLAR, AUTOMOBILE DEVICE, HOME DEVICES

The guide attempts to bring together two important and current issues: energy and consumer protection. Perhaps the most basic consumer-protection issue in the energy area is assuring adequate supplies at adequate prices. It is anticipated, though, that consumers will want to consider new ways to lower enegy consumption and cost, and will thus be susceptible to fraudulent energy claims. Information is prepared on insulation, solar, energy-saving devices for the home, and energy-saving devices for the automobile. (ERA citation 05:005855)
