#EnergyFables . Flexibility @JTorriti. Tigers move at great speed but when stalking their prey, they slink low to the ground. When hunting, they are agile enough to spring to action in an instant & slow enough to wait for the right moment. Are energy consumers similarly flexible?

#EnergyFables . Low hanging fruit @ElizabethShove.@NoelFCass. Low hanging fruit are easy to pick. In the energy sector, the phrase ‘first pick the low hanging fruit’ is an instruction to harvest easy wins. This chapter discusses the trees and fruits of this metaphorical orchard.

#EnergyFables . Elasticity @JTorriti. Spiders make elastic webs that all sorts of stresses and strains. Price ‘elasticity’ is different; referring to peoples’ willingness to forego services if prices rise. This chapter is about rigidities and springyness in daily life

#EnergyFables . Rebound @DrGregMarsden. Frogs are good at jumping – but how does one leap affect the next? The concept of rebound relates to the possibility that the benefits of energy-saving actions might be undermined if people use the resources they save in other directions.

#EnergyFables . Energy Efficiency @ElizabethShove. Ostriches are said to put their heads in the sand when faced with danger. Whether they do or not, the image of wilfully excluding complicating or extraneous considerations resonates with the main themes of this chapter
