戦前日本において長い間エネルギー源の中心を占め、近代化以前から利用されてきた薪は、農村部ではかなりの部分が自給されていた。自給燃料が豊富であったこからエネルギーの相対価格は低かったのである。日本の家庭が比較的豊富にエネルギーを使用していた理由が価格効果であったとすれば、戦前日本の家庭生活が資源節約的であったとは言えない。さらに家庭が薪や木炭という在来のエネルギーを利用することによって、企業は希少な近代エネルギー(電気やガス)を、家計と競合することなく利用することができた。

Before WW2 in Japan, firewoods played a central role in energy source for long, and people in rural areas used to provide mostly for themselves. By comparison, price in firewoods as fuel were low as there were a plenty of the self-energy source. If the reason why Japanese household relatively utilized the energy in great abundance was price effect, then we can't say that the prewar Japanese families didn't spend source-saving lives. Furthermore the companies could use rare modern energy, such as electricity & gas, without competition against the household budget, as the household used a traditional energy of firewoods and woodcoals.
