There are a couple of different interpretations of what constitutes “waste”. One is the refuse left when in the course of consumption, there are pieces and shreds that fall to the ground as we proceed. Another is to consume the energy available far in excess of the amount necessary to provide for the very most basic needs. The first definition is easily picked up and recycled in some manner, including conversion directly into energy. In that event, it no longer constitutes waste, but a smart and ecologically sensible means of turning that which could have been a negative into an overall positive.

The “excessive’ consumption of energy, which in the eyes of the failing nascent obma regime, is any amount greater than to keep the very minimum necessary to sustain life, and is in reality the engine that drives prosperity. It seems some folks cannot STAND prosperity, and will do their darnedest to prevent that plague from befalling ANYBODY.

Except Obama, whose T-stat was set at 72F. I'm sure his chilrun are not freezing or will not sweat to death either.

Measures under consideration include remote thermostat monitoring, higher taxes on fuel....

Obama is a control freak using a false premise to seize intimate control of peoples lives.
