Why Energy Conservation Will Remain Crucial

If cooling your house gets cheaper because you’re more energy efficiency, you might decide you can afford to keep your house even cooler. Energy efficiency means using less energy to produce the same goods or services (such as driving your car or heating your house). That can mean a decrease in your total energy use, but not necessarily.
