Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to determine in actual savings what the nature of public response has been so far and is likely to be in the future. The following conclusions are drawn: (1) Consumer behavior under energy constraints is not well understood; (2) Narrow governmental focus solely on transit and ridesharing is unproductive because it encourages actions that in total save little energy and constrain mobility; (3) Because replacement behavior by consumers may have impacts on other dimensions (e.g., declines in driving slower affect safety), governments should be particularly aware of possible negative impacts and losses in energy savings; and (4) Relative savings effort (e.g., savings per household) should not be viewed too rigorously.
