Clowns? How's this for clown - in the midst of an energy crisis (and do not doubt there is a crisis, energy consumption is projected to grow over 60% in the next 4 years) jokers like you continue to revile increased energy production and argue we should resort to "conservation." What, precisely, is your proposal? I have yet to hear any Leftie/Greenie make any. You can throw around the word "conserve" all you want, but unless you have real, concrete, proposals that do not cause even more shortages you're just blowing hot air.
Conservation as espoused by the Greens do not work, are draconic, and ignore economic forces. The only sort of conservation I have heard from your camp is price controls (time to retake Econ 101 folks), increased taxation on gasoline to "reduce consumer demand" (that is, screw the consumer by artificially raising prices and skewing the supply/demand mechanics), and stifling every attempt to expand energy infrastructure. The dolt that typifies your type is Gov. Davis, who demands federal price caps. Bright move - obviously didn't listen to his teacher in basic Economics in high school.
