Question

Read the following statement and choose the best possible choice. "Energy saved is energy produced" ___________________.
A. It's about industrial energy planning
B. It's about the consumption of energy
C. It's about sustainable energy
D. It's about the conservation of energy resources

Answer 1

Hint: Energy conservation is an effort to reduce energy consumption by using less of an energy service. This can be achieved either by making more efficient use of energy or by reducing the amount of service used.

Complete Answer: Energy conservation is a part of the concept of Eco-sufficiency. Energy conservation measures (ECMs) in buildings reduce the need for energy services and can result in increased environmental quality, national security, personal financial security, and higher savings. It is at the top of the sustainable energy hierarchy. It also lowers energy costs by preventing future resource depletion.
Energy can be conserved by reducing wastage and losses, improving efficiency through technological upgrades, and improved operation and maintenance. On a global level, energy use can also be reduced by the stabilization of population growth. "Energy saved is energy produced" is about the conservation of energy resources. Energy saved is energy generated. We cannot keep producing non-renewable resources such as petrol, minerals, etc. So it's a principled way we should use energy. Instead of saving non-renewable resources, we cannot produce our energy. Energy depletion has now become a global phenomenon. The biggest problem that man will face shortly is the energy crisis. Energy demand is increasing and is multiplying in the form of coal, oil, or gas, but energy sources are becoming scarce and costly. Now, in a few days, people are completely dependent on the conventional energy source. The only step we can take is to move towards a non-conventional energy source and reduce the use of conventional energy sources.

Thus, the answer is an option : D: It's about conservation of energy resources

Note: Energy can only be transformed from one form to another, such as heat energy to motive power in cars, or kinetic energy of water flow to electricity in hydroelectric power plants. However, machines are required to transform energy from one form to another. The wear and friction of the components of this machine while running cause losses of very high amounts of energy and very high related costs. It is possible to minimize these losses by adopting green engineering practices to improve the life cycle of the components. Energy conservation day is celebrated on December 14 every year since 1991.
