As I stated before, conservation is a matter of designing with energy efficiency. People have the old notion that
conservation means "freezing in the dark" when in really that is not true. People are motivated to decrease their
energy utility bills. If an appliance, home, vehicle or tool conserves energy and keeps money in their pocket,
they will use it.

Unfotunately, the low income and poor are the ones who are stuck with the old inefficient cars, the inefficient
housing and old appliances. With re-designing for efficiency, conservation, as a saying from the 70's goes,
is like "mining energy" in our buildings. Amory Lovins called it "technical fixes". People need to go back
and read his book from the seventies, "Soft Energy Paths Toward A Durable Peace".
