In the end, you might use more electricity, not less. An article last year in the science journal Nature estimated that “with solar energy accounting for 25 to 80% of the electricity mix, land occupation [ranges] from 0.5 In terms of transportation, reducing vehicle weight will reduce the power draw for electric vehicles.

Let me close with a story told by one scientist who worked for Exxon in the 1980s: Back in 1980, there was a guy working for Exxon and he was one of the inventors of the lithium battery, which electric cars now use. They could have easily built huge factories to make lithium batteries to facilitate the transition to electric cars.

Perhaps the most notable way reducing energy helps the environment is by decreasing harmful byproducts, such as carbon dioxide, from being released by the power plants that produce our electricity. By simply cutting back on energy consumption, we can reduce the amount of electricity that power plants must make and the fumes they release.
