I told my wife once that the best way to get the “yute’s” of America off the GW/environmental bandwagon is make them live in a post cheap energy world for a while. No iPods, cell phones, no quick trip to the Mall in the car, no Big Screens etc. Anything that uses gasoline, electricity or is recharged with electricity is tossed or the use is severely curtailed. I imagine the selfish, spoiled little rug rats would turn on the cuddly little polar bears like a pack of hungry wolves.
LOL! They will indeed.
After brainwashing at school they come home and unplug an idle cell phone charger (0.03 watts spec, actual is essentially zero), then pop on the big TV and xbox or the 500 watt gaming PC. My godson turned on the A/C the other night, although it was in the 40's outside, the space heater/computer in his BR must have been a little too warm.
