I am certainly in favor of energy efficiency, only a fool would not be, but
it is not the solution to our energy problem because when a commodity like
energy becomes cheaper people simply use more of it. If somebody invented a
gadget that doubled the fuel efficiency of jetliners it would not cut in
half the amount of fuel that airlines use because people would fly more
often and airplanes would hold fewer people due to their larger more
comfortable seats.

By the way, have you noticed that politicians are always urging us to
conserve energy but they don't seem to find it necessary to command us to
conserve angular momentum?
