We could all have 72-degree homes, so long as it’s done efficiently (in Winter using insulation Amory Lovins-style, or by planting large exterior shade trees).
We could all drive SUV’s too (with advanced technology like lighter chassis materials, or by using plug-in hybrids, biodiesel, CNG, etc.)
It’s not that we should change what we want, it’s that the underlying technology of energy usage needs to evolve. And the free market will have a hand in driving that.
Yeah. IF we let the market work.
We have pinheads like Obama on the hill placing restrictions on the market
