idea
There are three ways of reducing energy consumption:
- Efficiency: maintaining the same utility while consuming less (more efficient engines, ...).
- Sobriety: voluntary reduction of energy consumption by lowering consumption use (e.g. using a bike instead of a car to commute).
- Poverty: involutary reduction of energy consumption by removing the means of consuming (e.g. prices prevent you from using your car).
