In physics a conserved current is a current, , that satisfies the continuity equation =.The continuity equation represents a conservation law, hence the name. Indeed, integrating the continuity equation over a volume , large enough to have no net currents through its surface, leads to the conservation law =, where = is the conserved quantity.
Real-time power prices rose above $5,000 in most of ERCOT Texas hubs, according to the ERCOT website. The grid operator had earlier urged consumers to conserve power between 3 p.m. CDT (2000 GMT ...

(Reuters) - The Texas power grid operator ERCOT issued an appeal to the public for energy conservation from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. CT on Tuesday, as operating reserves were expected to be low, for the ...
The impact of the 1973 oil crisis and the emergence of the OPEC cartel was a particular milestone that prompted some countries to increase their energy security. Japan, almost totally dependent on imported oil, steadily introduced the use of natural gas, nuclear power, high-speed mass transit systems, and implemented energy conservation measures. [16]
Encouraged conservation efforts in homes, schools, and other public buildings; Restricted new power plants using oil or natural gas (repealed in 1987) Opened electric markets to alternative power producers; Taxed "gas guzzlers", gave income tax credits for alternative fuel use; Phased deregulation of gas wellhead prices; 1978
The electric power grid manager for most of of state appealed to householders to lower thermostats and avoid using large appliances until demand decreased late in the day.
Standby power used by consumer electronics and appliances while they are turned off accounts for an estimated 5 to 10% of household electricity consumption, adding an estimated $3 billion to annual energy costs in the US. "In the average home, 75% of the electricity used to power home electronics is consumed while the products are turned off." [8]
