Quote by: Cephus With energy however, there's only so much to go around and our generation capacity hasn't grown with the times (but that's another thread altogether). |
By 1980, after two Arab oil embargoes had wreaked havoc on our economy, America's campaign of energy conservation and alternative energy had reduced foreign oil imports by an incredible 25%, leading to the collapse of both oil prices and OPEC.
There may be a limited supply, but that becomes considerably less problematic if we cut the demand through conservation. And as we proved in '80, surprisingly little conservation goes a long way. Unlike some would have us believe, it would not require Americans to move into caves.
