Energy Conservation Policies

The introduction of entirely new energy industries will encounter many difficulties, e.g., the inevitable reluctance to change, the capital cost, the political 

There are literally dozens of energy-conservation measures that can be encouraged, supported or even mandated without invoking untried technology. With respect to curtailing use of electricity or gas, savings can be made through  

In the longer term, commuting by car can be reduced by encouraging people to take a job nearer home or live closer to their place of employment, as in former days. In addition to conserving petroleum, such actions will reduce traffic congestion. Many of these two sets of measures will require higher energy prices in addition to public exhortation before they make a major impact.

The prospect of a patchwork of state standards became a cause of great concern to manufacturers. When President Jimmy Carter was elected, he proposed that mandatoi y standards be set by the Department of Energy (DOE) to replace the voluntary efficiency targets. Wliile opposing mandatory standards at the federal level, manufacturers acquiesced to the National Energy Conservation and Policy Act (NECPA) of 1978, which required DOE to set appliance efficiency standards for residential products. In return, manufacturers were able to obtain a requirement for DOE to evaluate the impacts on manufacturers that standards would impose and to consider them in setting the standards. 

These aggregated, or macro, cui ves are especially useful for policymakers because they show the potential tradeoffs between energy consei vation policies and investments in new supplies. This is otherwise difficult because most energy conservation measures are small, highly dispersed, and cannot be instantly undertaken, while energy supplies (such as power plants) typically appear in a few large units.

The national policy and financial support in October 2007, revised through the energy conservation law of the People s Republic of China clearly put forward the state encourages and supports the development and utilization of new energy and renewable energy , the state will introduce tax preferential policies, financial incentives and market oriented. 

Another of Dr. Cobas points that is not very clear is his doubt that an increase in the cost of energy will induce the more economical use thereof. He does not believe that energy conservation is achieved more by price than by policy that is, it is more rhetorical than real. Is it not reasonable to assume that a higher cost of energy would induce individuals, and industries probably to an even greater extent, to adopt measures to reduce their energy consumption Finally, what is meant by soft technologies ... 

Description. House Bill 2845, passed by the 77th Legislature, directed the Texas State Energy Conservation Office (SECO) "to develop a plan for the acceleration of the commercialization of fuel cells in Texas. The bill also called on SECO to appoint an advisory committee to help with this task. The duty of the Fuel Cell Initiative Advisory Committee (FCIAC) was to help develop the plan that offers policy options to the legislature to ensure the viability of a fuel cell industry in Texas now and in the future." The FCIAC has a number of their published reports online at www.seco.cpa.state.tx.us /fciachome.htm. 

Finally, this paper uses the results of above four scenarios to compare the carbon reduction goal of the Sustainable Energy Policy 2008, Master Plan of Energy Conservation and Carbon Mitigation 2009 and the Penghu low carbon island development project 2010. We test these four scenarios to see if the carbon reduction goals are achieved. The details of policies are shown in Table 26.9.
