Totally agree. Seems to me the only people with reason to be opposed to efficient resource management are those who make a direct profit from selling the resource in the first place. Even if the globe isn't warming, I would be pushing to stop burning oil. The more heavily reliant we are on scarce resources, the worse the pain WHEN they do run out. I doubt the sun and win are about to run out any time soon.
