I don't think that energy is too cheap, but I think we, as consumers use it at too mindless of a pace. When I think of conservation I think of turning off lights, carpooling, turning the air conditioning up when you leave and so on. I don't think that it's a dirty word, just maybe a tad played out. If I could talk to Jimmy Cardigan I think we would get along just fine. He had a simple solution to a lot of issues and I think thats the way things should be handled. He cut a lot of worthless needs, like 5 limousines and FBI bodyguards and tried to live as normal as any other human. He saw the need to conserve energy, back in 1977, and I think if we would've maybe followed his way a little more, we might be a bit better off.
In my opinion I think that waste is our most potential renewable energy source. There will always be waste, and lots of it. And to be able to make energy with it is a blessing. Steps that I should probably be taking is to pay more attention to appliances that I leave on. I always leave my computer on and sometimes my closet lights. My air conditioner is always set at 74 degrees and ends up running the majority of the night so that I can sleep like a baby! I also have a bad habit of leaving the water on while I brush my teeth, but at least I only shower every couple days, haha.
