Also you can just keep it going. An hour usually does the trick for me, but occasionally I'll extend it for another 30 mins. I wouldn't be surprised if that still uses less energy than just 30 mins high.
Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if the times I do extend it aren't necessary. Like it's not even at the damp point, it's just at the point where it's ambiguous if they still have a bunch of moisture and have been fine when I decide to just take them out.
Which is another good sign for drying on low: it doesn't matter if there isn't any more moisture to evaporate, they are just being warmed instead of cooked.
My dryer's "energy saver" setting is just an hour on low with the moisture sensor reducing the time if needed.
