If a penny saved is a penny earned, then conservation is the safest of all. I'm not saying we don't need sources, but most Americans could reduce their energy use by probably 50% - 90%, probably improving their standards of living if they did it thoughtfully. In terms of deaths caused, conservation is probably be negative, by saving lives from power industries, which tend to be dangerous. To talk about energy and safety without talking about conservation seems irresponsible.
