We already have burned way too much of the world’s precious oil reserves. Who gives us the right to encumber future generations with a terrible energy deficit, a burden that will severely risk the future of our children.
I’m sure anyone can see the analogy: Lots of people think that it is terrible to run up financial deficits, and to burden future generations with the results.
Why aren’t more people thinking about energy in the same way?
Is your right to individual irresponsibility more important than the basic needs of our grandchildren?
