Resources consumption efficiency against the resources exploitation

Our ways of consuming energy are totally inefficient. Currently I'm residing in Jakarta and the type of the huge CC family cars and continuous traffic jam are burning unmercifully the hydrocarbon resources in this country.
I can realize at the personal level how the traffic jammed days are consuming considerably more fuels from my budget and my fuel consumption. Multiply that by the thousands and millions of vehicles running in the streets and you will realize the immense losses facing this country.
Serious efforts should be implemented to address this problem.
If we see the energy intensity factors which is estimating the energy consumption per each 1% of GDP we will see that the majority of the countries of the world including China and India are consuming more energy to sustain their GDP's which is clear indication of the inefficient utilization of the energy in their manufacturing facilities and their production plants.
Investors and countries are spending billions of dollars to explore and produce hydrocarbons. I strongly believe that each dollar allocated for the exploration and production of oil. has to have another dollar allocated for the energy saving and the improvement of the efficient energy consumption.
City like Jakarta should have urgent plans for more efficient and reliable mass transportation means in addition to the national plans for raising the petroleum production.
The all energy consumption sources starting from the household equipments, fertilizers, cement factories, transportation should be urgently and seriously addressed.
More intelligent controls on the energy should be innovated for the street lights and the household equipments, air conditioning, and so on.
Because of the nature of my job I've seen the energy policy in the majority of the world are semi blinded and focusing only on the increasing of the power and energy without equal attention to the efficient utilization of the energy.
World leaders have to give the good and applicable example by holding their conferences as video conferences instead of gathering hundreds of audience in their conferences.
Holding conference about the world climate and the energy through the traditional conference is a sort of hypocrisy.
Incentives should be set for the virtual offices and the tele-workers to encourage the virtual offices and the business management through the internet.
So may business activities can be run through the internet. We need to urge and encourage the people to go ahead and new business protocols can be established to manage and control the businesses.
