The conventional sources of energy (fossil-fuel) are fixed and exhaustible and the non-conventional sources of energy are not adequately developed. Energy conservation is, however, imperative for our survival and for the survival of the future generations. Some of the steps which can go a long way in the conservation of energy are as under:
(i) Emphasis on the development of non-conventional sources of energy. This will conserve the fossil fuels (coal, petroleum and natural gas).
(ii) Reduction in the consumption of energy.
(iii) Use of latest technology for cooking stoves ami heating lamps.
(iv) Privatisation of electricity.
(v) Reduction in pilferages.
(vi) Severe punishment for power thrift.
All these steps, if taken collectively, can ease the power crisis substantially.
