The General Assembly finds that the United States is confronted with a severe and very real energy crisis. Simply stated, the demand for fuels has outstripped the available supplies. The President of the United States has established energy conservation as a high-priority national goal and has called on all Americans to participate in and perhaps make sacrifices toward attaining that goal. The General Assembly recognizes that enormous amounts of energy are wasted by consumers of all classes and economic levels due to inadequate insulation of buildings and other inefficiencies in the use of energy. The overriding public interest in the conservation of natural gas and oil, as well as the use of alternative forms of energy, is indisputable.
