Indeed, Chuck, you are so right about the senseless waste of energy that is rampant in our society. So much waste it is astonishing. Criminal actually. I wish we had leadership in our country that actually highlighted the importance of 'conservation and waste reduction' in their conversation. Instead it is only about maximizing consumption & consumerism.
I couldn't agree with Chuck and Yogi more. But this country had a leader who really wanted to work on this reduced power idea. Poor ol' Jimmy Carter. You all saw what a lovely reception his gentle leadership in that area engendered.
You know what they say about leading a horse to water.
I fear that until the oil runs out, it is going to be a huge uphill battle to get
la gente to drink from the pond of conservation and alternative resources.
