The importance of Energy Conservation

[strateguy632]

Energy conservation is an EXTREMELY important issue, NOW as ever, as we continue using fuels, uses that dismantled the fuel called hydrocarbons, with less and less remaining. not only fuelled cars but also to make electricity for our COOLING in summer.

in u.s. now is hot summer. so now is the time for a reminder.

in the past this was not emphasized until a crisis. during the 1970s, U.S. responded to an oil embargo, by trying to reduce dependency on imported oil. Energy conservation was promoted.
even fiction at the time, 1977, bothered to mention and MOTIVATE Energy conservation, for fictional reasons, for example in 1977 series tabitha, mentioned
energy conservation in a story context about raising public awareness. this preserved the contemporary emphasis. the production had a guy claim, "the planet will be as dry as a bone of oil in 30 years". the story told about the DESIRE to cause public awareness as i am trying now. why was this emphasized back then?

the historical context was the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC) announced an oil embargo during 1970s, against several countries, including the United States, to hurt it for supporting Israel.
The oil embargo's effects exposed some vulnerabilities, including the U.S. dependency on foreign oil. U.S. energy policies changed, by encouraging domestic energy production, and storage in addition to encouraging conservation. script writers in entertainment mentioned the issue, as above.
despite now we are not motivated by crisis i still make a fuss: my opinion is this is still important. the MAIN benefit of the global warming idea (whether it is myth or not,) is providing RICH people with a reason to "turn the kitchen light off" reference annie 1982.
consider if i can afford a giant electric bill i dont care how much electricity i use for cooling and lighting my home, but this idea still provided an excuse beside money to limit use.
we should all plan and limit energy usage by balancing between the bad extremes: "no cooling in summer" which is not appropriate, to the extreme "careless and thoughtless usage" by finding balance.

I remember the first energy crisis. My father had to fill up his car on a specific day of the week depending on what the last digit on his license plate was. I upgraded the insulation in my house and had a super high efficiency boiler installed. I cut my heating bill in half. I replaced all the lights in my house with LEDs. I noticed a savings immediately. I got rid of my old airconditioners and had heat pumps installed. I do not know how good this will work but they sure keep my house cool and are not as noisy as the old window units. I keep my cars tuned up and try to save energy any way I can.

Thanks for the MHO😎

Physics is taking care of conservation. It's the government and their spending on lower the fossil fuels prices that is the problem. Not people usage. Everything would have been electric already if it wasn't for controlling people usage was more important than environment. You can't earn money on something everyone can create themselves.

[strateguy632]

you probably mean EFFICIENCY but users are still using. see my update.

[strateguy632]

oops the update button is not working for me so see my reply to world.

[Adam1978]

I think you start in the wrong end. If people can afford to be wasteful, maybe something should be done about those people ability to earn so much more than the rest. Rather then dictate how they can use their resources. The thing is that it's really about how we create the energy, not how much we use. We should stop filling the atmosphere with waste, it doesn't only warm the planet it is poisoning us. So we can always add more renewable energy production. Capitalism can't solve bad behavior because it encourage most of it. Rich benefits from giving people starvation salary. So they will be evil and create modern slavery.

Electric vehicles are not feasible for the vast majority of people. They need to be able to be recharged in minutes, not hours, the cost of new batteries and the cost of recycling the old batteries are still prohibitive. They are prone to catching on fire and often burn so hot the fire department cannot put out the fire. The range is usually less than 200 miles and less in the winter. The average person would need two vehicles. One electric the other IC.

[Adam1978]

An electric car can be recharged in 15-20 minutes today, I good food/toilet break and you can keep driving. Electric cars are far lesd likely to catch fire than a gas car. Gas cars burn so often it's not news worthy, please check your facts before repeating them. Otherwise you will be as gullible life time sucker that keeps paying for a product you don't need, while poisoning yourself and everyone around you. When you could drive a car that is cleaner and which you could under right circumstances actually create the energy that power it.

[Surely]

If only our well educated and smart leadership would practice what they preach! But first they need to realize that electricity just doesn’t magically come out of the receptacle without using some form of energy, fossil or otherwise to generate it.
So many ways to conserve energy. But there seem to be so many electrical consuming new devices invented every day.

[worldscolide]

Lol my electricity is off grid, so I will use as much as I like. I haven't had an electric bill in a decade.

[strateguy632]

but THAT is the point of the global warming idea , even your own generator uses fuels, so even if rich or NOT paying use less for example use air conditioning but a higher temperature like 74 degrees instead of 71.

[worldscolide]

My generator? Dude I'm running 100% solar, they power my home and charge batteries during the day and my home runs 100% battery at night. Try again.

Overpopulation is the real issue, solve that and the rest will solve itself

[strateguy632]

where? is this overpopulation? u. s. cities have PLENTY of room to expand and add more homes. if a chinese city can have 9 million why can't l. a. and san diego? overpopulation is not even a real problem.

[jamesgoldman]

Globally, room isn't the issue, lack of food will be the issue, fresh water and air to breathe... hell, jobs to be done even

What universal basic income which requires the government to seize all the wealth so no stock market, pension plans, real estate ownership or commodities... just ended up as modern day rebranded slavery
