We need to do more to conserve fuel or face tougher choices such as steep price increase or even quantitative restrictions.

Our oil policy should be to find more and use less.

Energy efficiency not only saves businesses and consumers money, but it also reduces pollution by cutting energy use.

Energy conservation is a responsibility that falls on every country and individual.

The universal utilization of water power and its long-distance transmission will supply every household with cheap power and will dispense with the necessity of burning fuel. The struggle for existence being lessened, there should be development along ideal rather than material lines.

Fuel conservation is a necessity, and I have to be the first person to set the example.

I came here to help make America more competitive and prosperous by developing an energy policy that increases conservation, promotes cleaner technologies, encourages development of renewables and enhances domestic production of gas and oil.

We as a nation have no choice but to conserve fuel to the best of our abilities or be prepared for harsh measures like steep price increase, if the need so arises.

Our traditional oil and gas philosophy does not have conservation as a crucial component, and we can ill afford to continue to spend billions of dollars which are not reflected in the improved human capital of our country.
