energy efficiency

From the Economist - if energy conservation is such a good idea, why don't more people do it?

In the US mandating efficiency seems to be a good thing (appliances), but home owners seem to demand as much as thirty percent payback before investing in conservation. Education and bribery may be answers along with sharp increases in energy prices, but it is difficult motivating consumers and small businesses.
