The government should grant very high tax credits to industry for mundane improvements like furnace maintenance, lighting adjustments, plugging leaky steam traps, recovering, installing insulation and developing more efficient technologies to replace the existing capital stock. Indeed, it's the very banality of such measures that is the primary problem with conservation--the approach just doesn't lend itself to any heartrending, grandious schemes like the Manhattan Project or landing...
