Correct me if I am wrong, but I think saving energy is the wrong overall way to go. Better is to be 100% renewable (or otherwise "green") when generating energy, so that consumption ceases to be an issue.

The right thing is to do both, because we don't have time to relax and wait for the grid to be 100% renewable. Using less energy means we can convert the grid more quickly.
