Energy use versus economic production over time:
The bottom line is we have already achieved incredible strides in energy efficiency, and are continuing to do so, all without expensive and oppressive government efforts.
Some will still be unhappy, even though energy efficiency has increased dramatically, since we are still using more energy (to generate much, much more output). I think that’s telling, because it shows they don’t really want more energy efficiency; they want lower standards of living. More precisely, they want lower standards of living for the masses, not for the nomenklatura.
