Hi,

No, there is no shortage of energy, there is no reason to base the long term planning on freezing in the winter and sweating in the summer. But it is going to take development, deployment and intelligence to solve the problem. Not sacrifice.

Of course Pete, but the same people that complain loudest when car fule prices go up are usually the same that don't want to pay more taxes to fund research on new energy sources.

So of course it should take development, deployment and intelligence but for more likely it will take sacrifice because we are to stupid to anticipate what happens in the future. I don't know about in the US but in Holland the right wing parties (and voters) are to blame.

Besides that, most people on this earth don't even have the amount of energy to spend as we have.....so a bit of sacrifice is not so strange.

And.....using half the energy that we are using now, doesnot have to be a sacrifice.
Not being able to drive a car with a 4liter engine but having to settle for a 2l one should not be seen as a sacrifice.
