<br /> <br />Quadrillion Blu's <br /> <br />100 <br /> <br />C:=J Savings due to Price <br />C:=J Savings due 10 Conservation <br />~ Energy Consumed <br /> <br />How Much Energy <br />Can Be Saved? <br /> <br />50 <br /> <br /> <br />1985 <br /> <br />15 <br /> <br />25 <br /> <br />1974 <br /> <br />. Higher energy prices should significantly cut energy demand <br />growth during the next 10 years. reducing the growth rate to 2.8 <br />percent from the historical rate of 3.6 percent. <br />. An active conservation program could further reduce energy <br />demand by the equivalent of 3 million barrels per day. reducing <br />the annual energy growth rate to 2 2 percent through 1985. <br />-Savings could be achieved in all the major sectors; residen- <br />tial. commercial. industrial. and transportation. <br />-Actions which improve energy efficiency 01 automobiles. <br />homes, and office buildings would have the greatest impact in <br />the next 10 years. <br />. While conservation can reduce energy demand. it does not <br />appear feasible to cut the growth rate to zero or to obviate the <br />need for expanding existing supplies of energy <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br />
