每天少用一滴水、一度电、一双一次性筷子！
在你每天的生活中，你节约一滴水，一度电了吗？
Are you sure that you save a drip of water in your daily life?
在美国，煤，天然气，核能以及水力发电的平均电价是一度电11美分。
U.S. residential customers pay an average of 11 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for power from a mix of coal, natural gas, nuclear and hydroelectric sources, but renewables are far pricier.
一滴水、一度电、一张纸虽是小事情，但对于我们全中国乃至全球人民，数量可观啊！
A drop of electricity, a piece of paper, once is the small things, but for all our Chinese and global people, a substantial number of!
如果这样的话，为什么还有人要去支持上网电价补偿计划？我们要花41便士一度电的价格买屋顶上太阳能板发的电？
So why do the same people support a feed-in tariff scheme under which we pay 41p per kilowatt hour for rooftop solar electricity?
某些太阳能发电工程每发一度电将会收到多达0.57欧元(73美分)的补贴，而与之相反，不可再生能源发的电每度要上交0.05欧元。
Certain solar projects will receive as much as euro0.57 (73 cents) for each kilowatt-hour of electricity generated, compared with the going rate for dirtier power of around euro0.05.
落基山研究所研究员埃默里洛文斯提出一个有前景的建议。他在20世纪90年代指出，消费者对用来提供服务的一度电或是一点油并不感兴趣。
One promising proposal came from Rocky Mountain Institute researcher Amory Lovins, who pointed out in the 1990s that consumers aren't interested in the kilowatt-hours or oil used to provide services.
在电力行业中，每一度电都是很宝贵的，这就是为什么我们要采用最优秀的产品以确保最大的产出、最小的综合成本和延长的设备使用寿命的原因。
Within the power industry, every kilowatt hour counts which is why using using the best products ensures maximum output, minimal all round costs and increased equipment lifespan.
当然，这比今天的计价方式复杂得多，但如果消费者乐意忍受操作上稍微复杂一点，他们就能省钱。 “如果你不想加入，你将为一度电付更高的价格。”
This is more complex than today’s pricing, of course, but customers will be able to save money if they are prepared to put up with a bit more complexity.
毕竟人们一度普遍相信，由于地球是弯曲的，无线电波沿直线传播，所以无线电不能传过大西洋。
