It's amazing you right-wing mother ers absolutely refuse, on ideology, to consider the environment worth respecting and protecting.
While you people like to think of yourselves as the courageous, militaristic, smash-mouth hard-asses, it's pure spineless chicken to say "it's too hard to conserve", and to repeat canards like "conservation will destroy our standard of (fat-ass, gluttonous) living". The US economy has 3 times before responded to "oil shocks" and kept on truckin. It can do it again.
Even if carbon fuels were not a principal cause of global warming since the industrial revolution, carbon fuels, esp oil, is black gold to be conserved rather than wasted.
We've built a world economy that can't do without cheap carbon fules, but the economhy sure can do without wasting so damn much of it.
The right-wing's absolute refusal, under dictation from the energy industry, to pursue energy conservation as aggressively as it cuts taxes for the rich+corps, and launches bull , phony wars will be be seen later in history to be self-servingly, fatally stupid.
Lack of conservation of oil is holding the world price very high and financing US enemie like Iran, Russia, and later Iraq. Conservation is the primary national security issue totally ignored by Repugs who lie about their concern for national security.
