I think many gov't institutions, industries, and big business could take measures that would reduce their energy usage and costs with no negative effect on their bottom line. They're the biggest offenders.

I think the number I saw was corporations used about 40% of energy produced. You'd think they would be doing a fair job at conservation if for no other reason than to increase profits. Of course somewhere the cost/benefit ratio becomes the dominate factor. I see the gov't as being a prime place for us to conserve. I propose we get rid of about 90% of it as we really don't need it anyway. I don't see the gov't conserving too much, let's face it, if they have a problem paying their light bill, they know where to get more money.
