It is unfortunate that more people do not save energy and it is unfortunate that they do not think about turning off lights in the house that they are not using or turning off the air conditioner when they leave the house for long periods of time. Americans are lucky in that our energy does not cost as much as many other countries due to the economies of scale. But wasting energy makes no sense at all and is much smarter to save your money by conserving energy.
If people saved more energy we would not have big spikes in costs due to supply and demand issues. The rolling blackouts in California are completely unnecessary and it is truly unfortunate that people will not conserve when it is the most important. So many people complain about global warming and our atmosphere being polluted from power plants. Yet what I find very ironic is that the people who complain the most live in states like California and they also use twice as much energy as they do in other states in their households.
Perhaps I see this as a little bit hypocritical and that if they really cared about the environment and the power plants burning coal then why don't they conserve energy so less coal has to be burned to create energy? In the future with clean coal technologies this will not be as big an issue with the pollution of the atmosphere. Nevertheless, it still makes sense to conserve energy, why would anyone waste energy?
