4. ENERGY SAVINGS AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY<br />
What is the cheapest energy available? Saved energy!<br />
Talking about new power plants seems to be more respectable, however,<br />
than promoting savings and efficiency. If efficiency is discussed,<br />
it is often implied that it requires new technologies, and more time. Wrong!<br />
Efficiency is efficiency - which of course leads to a smaller growth of energy consumption<br />
– but saving energy does not always require hi-tech solutions.<br />
You can switch off the light, you can leave your car in the garage and<br />
walk or take the bus, and you can pull off the plug of the mobile phone charger<br />
when you don’t need it. These require a change in attitude and behaviour. Sorry!<br />
You cannot blame your lack of action on an engineer or politician.<br />
