Okay, fair enough.

Please just don’t fall into the intellectual trap I’ve seen demonstrated by some of the AGW proponents. One expert on NPR declared “it’s not that we Americans are addicted to oil, it’s that we’re addicted to energy”, and went on to demand that we use less energy… no matter what the source, or how clean.

There’s a word for using very little energy: Poverty. We should not be aspiring to it.
