You can optimize each of those settings for low power consumption (Good) instead of potentially better performance (Bad) by pressing Enter while they are highlighted in interactive mode.
Alternatively, PowerTOP can automatically tune all settings for low power usage if you run the command
sudo powertop --auto-tune
Whether the Good (lower power usage) or Bad (maybe higher performance) settings or a specific combination of those are more suitable for you depends on whether you need long battery life or high performance more. The decision is up to you.
