What are the misuse of energy?

Answer 1

Human activities in our industrial civilization depend on having energy available when we want it, whether for electricity, home heating, transport, or to make things we want to obtain. It does not seem to me wrong to want to use energy for these things, the alternative is to regress to a simple agricultural way of life, like the Amish. I don't think most people want this.

There do seem though to be some guidelines we ought to observe: don't leave all your lights on when going out, though leave some on to deter burglars. Don't make unnecessary journeys, try to get all the things you need when you go to town to avoid repeated trips. Don't have the house overheated or overcooled. Trade in your 4 liter SUV for a smaller engine vehicle, a 2 liter engine will get you there just as fast. Use low energy light bulbs. Don't try to heat the environment with bottled gas patio heaters. Use solar heating for your pool if possible. If everyone tried to do these simple things we would cut down on use of energy resources.
