The sad thing is that these things happen not because we need the energy, but because we want the freedom to waste energy. We want it so cheap that we can let the dryer spin for half an hour after the buzzer goes off. We want it so cheap that we can put three decorative gas fireplaces in every tract house, with 12 light bulbs over every bathroom mirror. We want it so cheap so that one person can drive to pick up a few groceries in an Escalade. For this, cancers will spike in Japan. For this, we send people to kill and be killed in the Middle East. For this, we fill up the Gulf of Mexico with crude oil. Time to change. Time to conserve. Turn off that light in the other room and put on your sweater on winter nights.

Truer words have rarely been spoken.
