ow‚ what do mean by this? This means that conservation of a unit of energy is cheaper and environmentally more desirable than to generate an additional unit. For‚ it is estimated that generation of every additional kilowatt for one hour of energy requires an investment of Rs. 7‚000 to 12‚000 in the form of new energy generation equipments. Excessive utilization of coal and oil for generation of electricity leads to the multiple problems of acid rain‚ and rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere
