Garcia PTAC-1308 Energy Conservation It would be hard to imagine a life without the use of energy. So many of the products that we use on a daily basis are powered because of electricity‚ which in turn is generated because of energy. American’s use a mixture of different energy sources to cool and heat our homes‚ offices‚ and means of transportation. We also use energy sources to illuminate and power these same places. Oil has provided the United States with less than 50% of energy needs and supplies

Conserving energy is very important because there is a limited amount of nonrenewable energy sources available on earth such as coal‚ oil‚ and gas. If people do not conserve the nonrenewable resources we have now‚ there might not be any left for future generations. In addition‚ energy conservation is important because when nonrenewable energy sources are consumed this impacts the environment. The combustion of oil‚ gas‚ and coal in power stations produces carbon dioxide and contributes to global
