All that is needed are the right financial incentives to induce utility companies to produce less electricity (and still be more profitable) and consumers to reduce their use (and gain savings without sacrificing comfort). This can be done by refitting households with high-efficiency light bulbs and other technological improvements, and by retrofitting industrial plants with energy-saving technologies.
这种想法绝对是可行的。洛基山学院的Amory Lovins曾提出他所谓的“负瓦”概念，即从未被使用的能源。我们所需要的只是进行恰当的财政刺激来诱使电力公司生产更少的电能（但是同时确保更高的利润）以及使消费者减少他们使用的电能（在减少开支的同时并没有降低舒适度）。这可以通过给住所改装节能灯泡以及其他技术改进手段，以及给工厂实施技能技术来实现。
