Quote:Again, we will have to alter our lifestyle for sure...
You can start now. Try cutting your energy consumption by half. Try to use 1/2 your current electricity, 1/2 your current heating bill and 1/2 your current fossil fuels in your autos. Let me know how you do.

Abundant and cheap energy translates into a quality of life. Someone is trying to convince us that the answer lies in trading carbon credits. See, they will pick an average carbon foot print and if you use more than the average you will be taxed. If you use less in your squalid cave man existence, well at least you get the nice feeling that you are saving the planet. However... It is all bunk. This is just another tax scheme to redistribute wealth, where the rich will willingly fly their jets, and build their mansions, while the middle class and working poor will bear the burdens. This is just bloody global socialism where productivity is translated into carbon credits. Of course, northern climates will also suffer worse than equatorial ones. This might be one reason why the highest kW/person consumption rate in the world is in Canada. Just like income, energy consumption has a high correlation to personal productivity.

The entire planet votes with their wallets daily. I don't see the demand for any energy decreasing anywhere. Do you? Maybe that eco-warrior Mr. Gore? Al Gore’s Personal Energy Use Is His Own “Inconvenient Truth” I guess not.

Doc's work on sustainable living is admirable, and a model for anyone with his spare time, some land with streams on it, and fainting goats for fertilizer. Mr. Gore, on the other hand is a fear mongering hypocrite.
