energy conservation rebates

admin — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 10:25:29 +0000

Why do energy companies promote energy conservation and efficiency?

My gas company gave me a free energy audit of my home, and offers generous rebates to install insulation and other energy saving products. I don’t understand why they do this. If I use less gas, they make less money. Why are they doing these things?
By the way, I won’t believe any answers that say “it’s the right thing to do”, or “they want to be green”. I don’t buy that. Profit drives almost all business decisions, and this doesn’t seem profitable to me.

They have a set price they can sell their product for. They have to go through a long process to raise their prices. By keeping the volume of gas for sale down, they don’t need to expand infrastructure which costs lots of money and would necessitate a price hike.

working model for conservation of natural resources?

To date, there is no working model for conservation of natural resources that take into account all phases of human life short of going back to living completely off the land. This is not a reasonable goal for much of society–way too many people in this world to make that viable.

However there is much experimentation of small segments of society such as using wind and solar power for producing energy.
