Compassion for our fellow man must not be sacrificed through ignorance of the effects of our actions. Living in harmony with our fellow man and our planet must be our goal. We must not accept solutions that avoid conforonting our gluttonous appetite for more energy. Conservation, efficiency and sustainability need to be our by words.
