Kindly review this essay.

Are increasing the price of gasoline and electricity best way to encourage people to conserve ?
Some things are essential for leading a decent life that no one can live without it. This essentials list is proliferated on a daily basis with lots of technological improvement. Few decades ago, gasoline and electricity were not in the essentials list as people had managed to live without it and had lead a comfort life without any compromise. Once a material accrued into the essentials list automatically its demand gets increased and its source gets deteriorated, and that eventually makes the rulers to impose some methods to conserve the product. Increasing the product price is one such method to conserve it.

Society is a mix of affluent, middle class, and poor peoples. The consumption of electricity and gasoline vastly varies between different classes of people and this becomes the deciding factor on whether a method introduced to conserve it will work or not.

When the wealthy people are concered, their luxury lifestyle highly demands for even non-essential things. Then it is quiet understandable to know how much essentential things such as electricity and gasoline are required in their life. Is money a constraint for them to get the essential things? No, even they are the people who spend more for their pet's food than the money spent for the electricity.

It is not fair to talk about the poor people who actually beseeches for getting their daily food. But the majority of the population are filled with middle class people who actually draws a budget for every month on spending money for various needs which includes electricity and gasoline. These people are going to be the real sufferers when the price is increased. But they cannot limit their use as they are already leading a planned non-luxurious life, rather they will try to adjust this cost in some non-essential things they may need.

In my opinion, it is a bad decision to increase the price of essential items such as electricity and gasoline in order to conserve the same.

Thanks,
Prakash

I think you've got some good discussion points here, but the piece needs a great deal of clarification. If you can, condense, rewrite, or eliminate some of these confusing parts in order to rework it into a more coherent piece. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for your valuable comments. Here is my response to it,

and that eventually makes the rulers to impose some methods to conserve the product
In the above point, I wanted to mean that "the government will try some methods to preserve/conserve the essential products to make it available for the long run."

I used Beseech in the context to "beg for". When I say poor people, I meant the beggars.
