I was unable to contact the user. If the user calls back just create another ticket and reset thier Password, the account is already enabled and in the correct OU.

Such pain is the most efficent way to cause adjustments to use less energy or cause other sources of energy to become a larger factor.

Not that $60 oil is way out ahead of the long term inflation adjusted price for oil. At its 1980 peak oil cost close much more per barrell (in inflation adjusted dollars) and it also cost a lot more in the early days of large scale oil use back in the 1800s. But $60 is towards the high end of its historical range and is high enough, if the price is sustained, to cause some changes that reduce the need for oil.

(or just google inflation adjusted oil price)

The pain from gasoline prices should be recedeing (yesterday I saw gasoline near my home for $1.99, and I know that its even cheaper just a few miles away). Also oil prices have gone down recently. In many ways this is a good thing, but it might reduce the incentive to save on oil use. In the longer run the price will probably go back up to new highs, restoring the incentive.
