When was the National Energy Conservation Policy Act (NECPA) established?

1970
1980
1990
1978

The correct answer is: 1978

The National Energy Conservation Policy Act (NECPA) was established in 1978 as a significant legislative measure aimed at promoting energy efficiency and conservation in the United States. This act was a response to the energy crisis of the 1970s, seeking to reduce energy consumption and dependence on foreign oil by implementing various energy-saving programs and encouraging the use of alternative energy sources. NECPA laid the groundwork for subsequent energy legislation, influencing energy policy decisions and promoting energy conservation measures in both residential and commercial sectors. It established a framework for federal energy management and aimed to improve energy efficiency across various industries and sectors, reflecting the urgency of energy conservation during that period. The timing of the act in 1978 was critical as it coincided with heightened awareness of energy issues and the need for sustainable energy practices.
