I think Dan's right on. Those that can bear the cost willingly to be more energy efficient (vehicles aren't the limit; it can involve items in the home as well) and choose to do so, can make some difference in energy consumption. The energy companies will do what is in their best interests, which may or may not align with making life better for the rest of us.It isn't their responsibility to do so (we'll leave any ethical talk out...they could make nice and reduce their profit margin and pass it on to the consumers, but we should not expect or dare force them to). It is everyone's choice- we are all individual adults- and what we do has an effect. It may affect our futures as well.
