Question

In the United States, we use energy more efficiently than in the past, and our total energy consumption is therefore

coming down.
True
False​

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Efficient use of energy is not the same thing as lowering the total consumption. That simply means that, today in the USA, there are several energy sources, some of which are less polluting then the fossil fuels, producing more energy, using renewable resources or having less energy loses in the process of production. From this we can not draw any conclusion about the rate of total energy consumption. Data show that total consumption is increasing, mostly because of today's society which is completely technology dependent.
