Answer 2

The one which does not conserve energy is option D: Build more power plants to supply more electricity.

• Energy conservation refers to conserving as much electricity and other energy sources as possible.

1. Recycling items helps to keep natural and man-made resources from becoming depleted.
2. When appliances are not in use, they should be turned off to conserve electrical power and its sources.
3. To save energy, energy-efficient equipment utilizes less power.
4. Building new power plants, on the other hand, will use more resources and limit future energy supplies.

• As a result, more power plants will not contribute to energy conservation.
