Conservation may be a sign of personal virtue, but it is not a sufficient basis for a sound, comprehensive energy policy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Conservation is an American value, and it is lacking from this bill.
We haven't had a good energy policy in this country for decades and we're trying to get one.
The demand for electricity to have a strong, growing economy is too great to be simply offset by more conservation.
Part of being conservative is judicious conservation of resources, both man-made and natural.
And I am a conservative. Sometimes conservatives forget we are supposed to conserve, to save, to be efficient. Plus our dependence on other sources of energy is causing our country to not be independent and to really be vulnerable. So this is a security issue.
Conservation means the wise use of the earth and its resources for the lasting good of men.
True conservation provides for wise use by the general public. The American people do not want our resources preserved for the exclusive use of the wealthy. These land and water resources belong to the people, and people of all income levels should have easy access to them.
Conservation is a state of harmony between men and land.
Energy conservation is the foundation of energy independence.
If conservation isn't conservative, then words have no meaning at all.
