You guys are missing the point on the environment. The key is not to deny the obvious and start transitioning to new technologies so we don’t have to make sacrifices and lower our standard of living in the future.
I’ve made improvements to my house and I’ve cut my energy use about 50% from 10 years ago. It’s not affected my lifestyle one bit. In fact, I run the air-conditioner more often now; so, if anything, my standard of living improved.
Let’s all do our little part rather than trying to kill the messenger because we’re too lazy to examine our own behavior.
