Stranica 21 - We mean by conservation those energy-saving investments, operating decisions, and changes in the goods and services that we buy and use that save money over the life of energy-consuming products. Money can be saved by substituting intelligence, prudence, maintenance, better equipment, or different equipment for purchased energy; the substitution should be made up to the point where the cost of not using the energy is equal to the cost of the energy saved.
Stranica 21 - ... numerous markets and sectors without extensive government subsidies or directives. There is ample evidence that energy efficiency already is improving at a pace that is not widely recognized, and not at a loss in economic growth, but as a way of maintaining it.

It also would...
Stranica 20 - ... no less an energy alternative than oil, gas, coal, or nuclear. Indeed, in the near term, conservation could do more than any of the conventional sources to help the country deal with the energy problem it has.
Stranica 1 - ... restoring confidence and quality to public schools requires a commitment to educate our nation's children. We need no gimmicks, no frills; we need integrated school systems that do a better job teaching students to read, write, and function in our society. Executive Summaries OF PANEL REPORTS Energy.
