If your brain is shorting out and not doing so well for example if you have autism or if you have seizures or if you have dementia,
then increasing energy efficiency can really do a lot to help your symptoms.

Because I don't know enough science to debate contrarians scientifically, I usually fall back on: Suppose the mainstream climate scientists are wrong & the contrarians right, and we act as if the scientists are right,
then we have nothing to lose & something to gain in terms of reducing other environmental harms (acid rain, local pollution), resource depletion, and
increasing national security (re oil wars & protection), and lots of money to save from
energy / resource
efficiency & conservation, and
increasing from alternative
energy.

energy efficiency by recapturing
energy from deceleration and braking, which is
then stored in the nickel - metal - hydride battery.
When the engine is
then under load, the alternator output is reduced,
increasing overall engine
efficiency while the battery provides the previously stored
energy to compensate.

then pays back through
increased property taxes by a set rate over about 20 years.
The company expects
energy demand to grow at an average of about 1 % annually over the next three decades — faster than population but much slower than the global economy — with
increasing efficiency and a gradual shift toward lower - emission
energy sources: Gas
increases faster than oil and by more BTUs in total, while coal grows for a while longer but
then shrinks back to current levels.
-- Muller believes humans are changing climate with CO2 emissions — humans have been responsible for «most» of a 0.4 C warming since 1957, almost none of the warming before
then — IPCC is in trouble due to sloppy science, exaggerated predictions; chairman will have to resign — the «Climategate» mails were not «hacked» — they were «leaked» by an insider — due to «hide the decline» deception, Muller will not read any future papers by Michael Mann — there has been no
increase in hurricanes or tornadoes due to global warming — automobiles are insignificant in overall picture — China is the major CO2 producer, considerably more than USA today — # 1 priority for China is growth of economy — global warming is not considered important — China CO2
efficiency (GDP per ton CO2) is around one - fourth of USA today, has much room for improvement — China growth will make per capita CO2 emissions at same level as USA today by year 2040 — if it is «not profitable» it is «not sustainable» — US
energy future depends on shale gas for automobiles; hydrogen will not be a factor — nor will electric cars, due to high cost — Muller is upbeat on nuclear (this was recorded pre-Fukushima)-- there has been no warming in the USA — Muller was not convinced of Hansen's GISS temperature record; hopes BEST will provide a better record.
Thus, when the ocean circulations
increase the resistor
efficiency of the oceans by slowing the release of
energy into the air
then the air follows by
increasing it's own resistor
efficiency by exposing less equatorial air to space.
The world is going to need alternative
energy and
increased efficiency in it's use of
energy (that said, i still want my light bulbs back...) If we attach
energy security to agw and agw doesn't pan out,
then the quest for a sustainable
energy future will likely be abandoned.
But instead of allowing polluters to benefit from this, in essence, extra cash, the overseers of RGGI decided to force polluters to pay for at least some of the right to pollute and
then use those funds to help pay for
energy efficiency and renewable
energy programs in the various states, further reducing global warming pollution and potentially offsetting
increased energy costs.
The rebound effect — the phenomenon whereby improvements in the
efficiency of
energy services leads total
energy use to decline and
then rebound as consumers re-spend savings on
increases in the same or other
energy services — seriously undermines climate mitigation models that rely on
efficiency for emissions reductions but ignore rebound effects.
