There is no alternative to unsustainable patterns of fossil fuel energy use? I'm sorry, that's as much a falsehood as saying there is no such thing as anthropogenic global climate change eighteen years ago. In fact, these two problems are linked, don't you know. We've not developed all the great alternatives or better patterns of residential energy efficiency to their full potential almost as if we wanted to protect a market more than planet Earth and our own futures. That's nuts, and it's evil.
