Yes we can conserve but on the volume/price ratio over work done is so much higher than any other thing particularly for transportation and heating. Soler and wind are good but they require a new transmission infastructure acording to MIT technology review mag ( years out) and they ignore the intermitent nature of both which require (rolling reserve) generation capacity which lowers their efficiency dramatically.
