"Conservation may be a sign of personal virtue, but it is not a sufficient basis for a sound, comprehensive energy policy," Dick Cheney says. In other words, "Ride your bikes around the commune all you want, hippies, but the rest of us have to get to work." According to today's front page New York Times article, Cheney's nominal boss uses energy efficient heat-pumps to cool the ranch in Crawford; meanwhile the rest of us are burning high-cost, polluting fossil fuel (which, of course, we are expected to buy at a premium from his business cronies). I'm reminded of Philip K. Dick's novel The Penultimate Truth, where the masses live in crowded bunkers deep underground, hoodwinked that there's an atomic war going on topside, while an elite is in fact basking in green estates on the underpopulated surface, living off the masses' labor while simulating news reports of an ongoing "crisis." Science fiction? Not if you believe Cheney's BS.
