Energy Conservation

The Importance of Energy Conservation

In today's society, the use of renewable energy is becoming more and more apparent. With an increasing global average temperature, it has become more important to conserve energy because it is considered to be a rather finite source. As a result, many people in today's society need to use the minimum amounts of energy , that is necessary, to make the resources that we have today, last for the longest period possible.Regarding, “energy conservation,” I personally feel that the leadership of my country needs to realize that they need to take drastic steps towards becoming independent from foreign energy resources (i.e.: oil from the Middle East, etc). In addition, I feel that the US, as a whole, needs to move towards using more renewables such as nuclear, wind, and solar power. By doing so, I feel that we can make society a much cleaner place.
