USA Technologies Inc. has urged the federal governments, state and local governments to utilize and support the use of its energy saving vending products. Stephen Herbert, president and chief operating officer of USA Technologies, sent a letter to the White House, Congress, state governments, major city mayors and numerous other government officials and agencies noting that the company’s EnergyMiser products can save up to 46 percent energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.

“We need your help to make the EnergyMiser a priority energy conservation solution for funding under the Stimulus Package,” Herbert wrote. “No other technology can compete with its price and ease of installation for the immediate energy savings it delivers.”

Gunter Beyer, a spokesman for USA Technologies, said the company wants government agencies to subsidize the installation of its products and promote the use of the products in government facilities. He noted that the company is contracted to sell EnergyMiser(tm) products through the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). The GSA is a federal government agency that influences nearly $66 billion in government spending. The contract with USA Technologies enables all federal and state government authorities, agencies and facilities worldwide to purchase the full line of EnergyMisers on a no bid basis.

USA Technologies and its have installed about 250,000 EnergyMisers, Herbert noted in his letter.

“If all 15 million vending machines and coolers were equipped with EnergyMisers, the 1.5 billion kWh of electricity saved annually could make two power plants unnecessary, helping to lower America’s dependence on foreign oil,” Herbert said.
