Rather preventing waste heat

The way things are today, most of all energy produced is waste energy.
The majority of energy produced in nuclear, gas and coal power
generation is heat, waste heat. But let's go a bit further down the
line and find that over ninety percent of a simple bulb is actually
waste heat. Add the mind staggering waste for electro domestic
appliances in standby modus...
In fact we could reduce the amount of power drastically on all the
ends. Legislation is needed to provide guidelines of max. energy wasted
= pollution for each part of the supply chain of energy, not only in
the power sector but also in transportation and public as well as
private housing. Waste energy is a more obvious item to start doing
something about than other options. Prevention is better than handling
the symptoms. Specially in regards to global warming.
