'Energy saved is energy produced.' Assess the statement.
Solution:  
We agree with the statement that "Energy saved is energy produced".
Presently, India is one of the least energy efficient country in the world. We have to adopt a cautious approach for judicious use of our limited energy resources.
(i) As concerned citizens we can do our bit by using public transport systems such as buses, metro etc., instead of individual vehicles, so that petrol, diesel and CNG can be saved.
(ii) Switching off the electrical appliances when not in use. This will reduce the electricity bill and save energy simultaneously.
(iii) By using power saving devices, meaning in place of ordinary bulbs, and tubelight, we can use LED bulbs, similarly AC and other units which consume less power, should be used.
(iv) Using non-conventional source of energy i.e., as far as possible water heating and cooking can be done through solar energy.
In view of above statements, "Energy saved is energy produced."
