I do not have the data to back this up yet, so it is a theory. But my theory is that there is not enough conservatio nthat we could do to fix the problem. Our socio-econoimc state has been based in much off of cheap oil (which translates to an ability to spread out). Our cities are locked with traffic and public transportation is not as effective here (in my opinion) as it might be in other parts of the world.
Conservation will help, but will not solve the issues immediately.
My theory, only.
