Question

In the United States, we use energy more efficiently than in the past, and our total energy consumption is therefore coming down. True or False

Answer 1

That statement is False

It's true that we use energy more efficiently since the discovery of the nuclear Energy. But our total energy is COMING UP since now our society really relied on technology

Answer 2

The correct answer is False.

It is false that in the United States we use energy more efficiently than in the past and our total energy consumption is, therefore, coming down.

There are many sources of energy that are being used in the United States. These are fossil energy such as petroleum used in transportation, nuclear energy, and electricity. Fossil energy has side effects such as the pollution of the air and the sea. The United States has been increasing the consumption of energy, so the total energy consumption is not coming down. Electric power is what consumes most of the energy in the country, followed by transportation, the industrial sector, residential and finally, commercial use.
