我们多数人都知道应该控制能源的使用,但我们首先应该知道怎样做才是最好的方式。


Most of us know we should rein 1 in our energy use. But to be successful, it’d help if we knew the best way to do it. So scientists asked more than 500 people, “What’s the most effective thing you can do to conserve 2 energy?” The results were illuminating 3.


More than half the participants focused on conservation by curtailment 4: switching off the lights, changing thermostat 5 settings and driving less. Only 12 percent went for efficiency: using compact fluorescent 6 bulbs, insulating the house or driving a hybrid 7 car. But scientists say that it’s actually these moves that yield the bigger energy savings 8. The results appear in the Proceedings 9 of the National Academy of Sciences.


The study authors think that a big factor is that curta ilment is easier to imagine doing—while efforts to improve efficiency would involve, for example, doing research about new appliances or cars, and spending money up front to buy them.


But if people knew more about the actual energy requirements of their activities versus 10 the savings available through efficiency, they might be spurred to act. To quote physicist 11 and energy expert Arthur Rosenfeld: “Energy efficiency is like a Saudi Arabia under our cities.”
