ProblemsThe unreasonable and uncontrolled use of energy resources in the past few decades has led to the depletion of conventional type of resources. Although, measures are taken at the government levels to control the energy consumption, these attempts only meet with little success. Public awareness is the only way to successfully deal with this problem.Wastage of EnergyIt is the biggest culprit of energy crisis. Unnecessary illumination, running the appliances even when no one is using them, using two or more devices for achieving the same purpose, etc., can all lead to wastage of valuable energy. Self discipline is the only way to resolve this issue.Unmindful Use of ResourcesThis is different from wasting energy, as it yields the same result. This includes choosing the wrong appliances that consume more electricity, or buying luxury cars that are extremely inefficient regarding fuel consumption. Choosing your options wisely can solve this problem. Public awareness can be generated, in order to educate people regarding the intelligent usage of energy.Energy LossNone of the machines can give you 100% efficiency. There is always some energy loss, which reduces the efficiency of the machines. Although, there is no feasible solution to this problem, we can certainly minimize this loss so that we get optimum efficiency.Energy Conservation and Rebound EffectThe obvious advantage of energy conservation is that, we can slow down the depletion of energy resources so that we have more of it left for future use. As mentioned above, the efficient and wise use of energy can alleviate the problem of its crisis. However, there is an argument against this usage, which says that efficient use of energy will lead to fall in its demand, which in turn will lead to decline in its cost of. Lower prices are likely to encourage the consumption of energy, making the whole effort worthless. This is called the "rebound effect", which defeats the whole purpose of conservation. However, economists believe that the magnitude of this effect is smaller, as compared to the total energy gain by implementing energy efficiency schemes.Read more at Buzzle: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/energy-conservation-problems.html
