I'm looking forward to when we can regularly and cheaply rocket toxic / nuclear waste into the sun.
Why? That stuff is still useful, recyclable if we ever get over our reservations on using it.
My policy is that I love research.
Efficiency: Reducing my electric/heating bill is always nice.
Recycling: Solves two problems at once. You get supply from waste. See Efficiency
Cleanness: I like clean air and water.
Power Generation: Let's make power cheaper, greener, etc...
We'd be alot further along if we didn't have so many reactionaries. I'm fully confident that our economy will adjust. For example, Kyoto wouldn't be nearly such a big deal if we got ten times as much power from nuclear reactors.
Here's what puzzles me about Leftists. They continue to criticize a thing, but stultify the solution to the problem they whine about by opposing solutions to problems they express.
They're never happy, are they?
Take energy, for instance.
Everybody is wrong about that, by the way. We do not need to conserve anything. Especially energy. We need to consume. Consumption gives birth to inovation. Check your history. Everything gives way, even fossil fuel. There are options that are progress not regression. Conspicuous consumption is good, because it creates needs, especially in a free society and for the proper reason: Man's destiny is to play. Play is good and if it is trouble free, excrutiatingly fun as well. Man needs to play.
So, figure a way to meet that expectation for the Baby Boomers, you can order your Caddy SUV; the big one.
Well, what are you waiting for. We all need to go by a Hemi and damn the consequences. (They'll be really, really fun)
Well excuse me, but I'll keep supporting increased efficiency. If nothing else, it helps your Semi-SUV extend it's range and have more cargo space where the extra gas tanks would otherwise go.
Of course, I support being able to do more on our nice cheap electricity.
