Better to save than burn more

Without electricity all activity in modern society stops. Electricity blackouts are no longer restricted to poor countries. They can also paralyse ‘developed’ countries. Should we build extra power plant capacity and burn more energy to prevent electricity shortages? New power plants and distribution networks cost billions of dollars and take years to build. They also make the problem of dwindling and more expensive reserves of fossil and nuclear fuels far worse.

Preventing energy waste in the first place is both more economical and more sustainable. According to the EU Commission it will cost 50%-400% more to produce an extra kilowatt of electricity than to save it.
