Not only is it an energy source, but it has the potential to make a larger contribution than any single form of energy that exists today and to make that contribution in much less time than it takes to build new nuclear plants or even coal-fired plants. Jon White [decvax|ucbvax]!tektronix!tekmdp!azure!jonw /* ---------- */ Conservation is a lot like taxation: a little bit can be good for you, but it quite easily gets out of hand. We've already made the mistake of basing a large part of our national economy on one; I'm scared of what could happen if we got the other one into the act.
