Energy Conservation

      We entered into the 21st century with a traumatic problem of energy conservation. Energy conservation has been with and stayed with us starting from the 20th century. However only until the crises of the late 1960s and 1970s did will start to encounter high costs of energy production and using up our natural resources. Our history of energy conservation details and shows how growth, technology, and policy moderate   has been leading the high demand for energy. (Conservation Measures For Energy)
      What avenues do we depend upon to saved energy? What strategies do we use to conserve on our energy? What plans do we incorporate to keep these plans on course? What effects does energy conservation have on our environment and health? These questions are what we need the answers too. We need to mitigate, strategize, and find plausible solutions to conserving our Nations energy and energy for our environment.
      The blame for the energy debacle is placed on numerous heads such as the government,
society, the oil crises, the oil embargos, the wars, the greed of other nations, and a host of others.

      Energy conservation is getting rid of or reducing energy’s use and waste. Another meaning of energy conservation refers to efforts made to reduce energy consumption to preserve resources for the future and reduce environmental pollution. Also as we look at energy conservation, as what it means to various things to...
