Actually I find even more to agree with in your post than I thought I did at first.

Over the last few years, we have replaced our old refrigerators with efficient models that use less than half as much electricity, and have disconnected an especially wasteful old freezer. We have a new and much more efficient air conditioner. I use flourescent bulbs in as many fixtures as possible now. As a result, our home's consumption of electricity is down by about 30%--maybe more. The electric bill is less than the Cable TV bill, usually.

Also, I now drive a Prius, and can contemplate $10 a gallon gasoline with equanimity.

I have a very efficient woodstove in the fireplace and can heat the entire house with it, if I choose to, sometimes from downed tree limbs in a nearby park.

Americans have a huge fund of ingenuity and intellectual energy. It's too bad that our country is being directed by the type of people who started the Mexican War than by our Ben Franklins and John Adams types of people.
