Conserve energy anyway

If man-made global warming is a scam, does that mean we don't need to conserve energy? Of course not. For most of us it is a matter of economy. But there are a lot of people in our affluent society who, like Al Gore, are on a guilt trip and are even into buying carbon credits.

The scary part for the rest of us is that drastic changes are being proposed that are neither economically nor technically feasible. Take electric cars, for example. Where does the electricity come from? Fossil-fuel power plants. Only 20 percent of our power comes from nuclear plants.
