Question

Why should I worry about conserving energy when gas and electricity wont run out for years and years from now?

Answer 1

Electricity may still be around many centuries if we go nuclear. It will take a long time to convert to nuclear on a grand scale... about 30 years for starters.

We do have lots of natural gas in the arctic, but we have not really started getting ready to deliver that. That will take 20 years.

Urgent requests by the US administration to get those Alaska reserves on stream asap are not a signal that we can keep on using as always. major constraints are imminent.

Answer 2

conserving helps keep the cost down & reduces your own footprint

gas and oil is running out quicker than you think, by 2025, you will see a definite lack of fossil fuel. we need  fuel, wind, or water to generate electricity, without oil gas or vegetable fuel  how will we be able to generate enough electricity to meet the demand?

Gas and electricity are becoming more and more expensive. Surely you have something better to do with your money than hand it over to the utility companies.

It's all about saving you money in the future (excessive use = increased costs) and also the small problem with pollution!
