The energy challenge can be significantly surmounted by reducing energy consumption and adopting energy-efficient solutions in such areas as transportation, heating and air conditioning, refrigeration and lighting, and such media appliances as TVs, computers and more.

It’s not news that Washington and the news media customarily focus on energy use and related environmental challenges – but today’s momentous reality is BP’s massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Because the out-of-control spill and its related recovery costs will be counted in billions of dollars, routine environmental news has leaped to the front page. Albeit momentous, the spill fits alongside other critical, but less headlined, energy challenges, because energy conservation and its related costs have become the world’s most pressing economic and political concern.
